Cat-Women of the Moon
“Love-starved moon maidens on the prowl!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 61, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
The Moon has breathable caves, giant spiders and women in matching black tights. Scientific procedure rapidly gives way to interpersonal drama in this short lunar oddity. The puppet wrestling is the attraction; the offscreen climax is the final budget-saving surprise.
