Monstroid (1980)

I love monster movies, I love '80s movies, but I hated this

[2/10 · 25 November 2017]

MONSTER is very much a terrible picture, an extremely low rent monster movie from 1980. I love the genre and I love the era, but this indie was shot out in the desert in New Mexico and is of such a poor quality in every respect that it's difficult to sit through. A bunch of stale and ageing cast members do battle with a barely-seen creature that rises from the depth to take victims, but this sub-CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON has absolutely nothing to recommend it, even for B-movie lovers. John Carradine pops up as a priest, James Mitchum is the wooden, square-jawed hero, and Anthony Eisley must be wondering why his career never progressed beyond Z-grade features.
