When you see a movie like this, the first thing that comes to your mind is ....WHY? Why did that make such rubbish. Throw in very bad acting, very bad special effects and an appalling plot ... and you have a recipe for disaster.
I cannot warn you enough to steer clear of this absolute rubbish.
I have seen most British horror movies of this period. This ranks as one of the worst, not as bad as INCENSE FOR THE DAMNED or THE FIEND, but pretty awful nonetheless.
I agree with you that the special effects are very bad and that the plot is appalling. Indeed, there wasn't much plot to speak of.
I would say, however, that Robin Askwith would be a good choice of actor had this flick been properly made as a spoof.
Michael Gough was not suited to "camping it up" or "hamming it up" style of roles. He was always best playing roles straight. Vincent Price would have been a better choice for the role that went to Gough.
The bottom line - IMO not the worst movie ever made and if it had been made as a spoof with a properly developed plot and more appropriate casting it could have moderately succeeded on that level.
That's funny, because your mum told me YOU were the worst rubbish ever made!
shareThe worst film ever made?
You must be very young.

mmmh, worse than "Sharknado (1,2,3)", "Disaster movie" (title says it all really, bad because they had a joke about Heath Ledger's death)?
shareIt certainly is not the worse movie ever made. There is a strange kitsch element to this.
It's that man again!!
Oh come on ... it's hilariously good.
shareThis comes nowhere near the complete incompetence in every aspect of making a movie you'll find in something by Coleman Francis.
It is pretty bad though.
