Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster
Certified Crap. CrapScore 58, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Martian abductors, a damaged astronaut android and a population with excellent reasons to avoid the beach collide in Puerto Rico. The title oversells the Frankenstein connection, but the strange mixture and Lou Cutell's alien scientist make an appealing sixties science-fiction curiosity.
