The Beast of Yucca Flats (1961)

The Isotope Guerrilla Cult Theatre Proudly Presents:

THE BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS

Americans have always wondered what the strange and eerie results might be of the hundreds of atomic tests that shattered the skyline over Yucca Flats, Nevada in the 40's and 50's... and thanks to low-rent director supreme Coleman Francis and B-movie star of the first magnitude Tor Johnson, they finally got their answer.

This 1961 thriller includes everything you could possibly want in a drive-in anti-classic: secret atomic testing, innocent victims, KGB agents armed to the teeth, bumbling police officers, nearly naked girls, and one hell of a creepy baddie. You're stomach will churn from the first geiger counter soundtracked necrophilliac love scene to the bunny-laden final act!

The glorious Tor Johnson can also be seen in Plan 9 From Outer Space, Carousel, and Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion.

ugh painfully boring

[balrog13571]

Flag on the moon..... how did it get there?

Also what's with the opening? It made no sense whatsoever. Was it taking place in the present and had a flashback to what happened to him? Was it an unrelated murder thrown in for no reason? I have no idea.

I love the Cars, but the quality of the Film ( Pixels) is Even worse than the quality (Sense) of the film itself...

[brickandfanal]

Some critics have characterized it as one of the worst science fiction films of all time, and one of the all-time worst, even suggesting that it may be worse than Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space. (Wikipedia)

All time worst... then it worth watching till the end.

Well yeah I mean I get that, but considering the fact it has no continuity with the rest of the movie and with the lack of any real exposure there's really no need. Psycho had come out one year prior and tha showed more through suggestion, a body double, and shots of the back, and it was able to get away with it and show a scary scene. I'm not saying I expect Francis to match Hitchcock, but you'd think with the success of that, they'd take notes how to film a nude/death scene.
