Synopsis:
"What happens when a film started
by the director of The Giant
Spider Invasion is finished by Herschell
Gordon Lewis, the man who made Two
Thousand Maniacs? Yup, you get Monster
A-Go Go, a screwy sci-fi obscurity in which an astronaut goes
up, but a 10-foot, crusted faced creature comes back. Played
by real life giant Henry "Horace" Hite, the Spaceman
Who Scares Chicago stalks sexy sunbathers, strangles scientists,
attacks twist-party teens, and spews radiation that leaves
his victims "shriveled up like a dried prune." And
because he's about to "contaminate everybody within a
radius of 50 miles," the military desperately tries to
corner the lumbering galoot in a deserted stretch of sewer
tunnel until an absurdly surreal ending turns everything upside
down… Shown primarily in Southern drive-ins during the
sixties, Monster A-Go Go will dig through your brain like
a cinematic lobotomy. But beware: "What you are about
to see may not even be possible within the narrow limits of
human understanding." You betcha." -

My oppinion:
I feel congtatulations are in order, to
Directors Bill Rebane
and Herschell
Gordon Lewis, for making the WORST movie I've ever
seen! I've seen lots of bad movies, but this one crawled its
way to the top of my list. I saw the MST3K version (thank
god!!), but that just wasn't enough this time. I seriously
had to take several brakes during the film, so not to go nuts.
I seriously can't think of a single positive thing about this
movie, and I don't think that has ever happened before. The
acting is stale, camerawork and lighting are terrible. the
plot is confusing and just plain stupid. The monster is badly
done (for the few moments we actually get to see it), The
ending was utterly disappointing. I could go on and on and
on.. I don't think I would have been able to sit through this
one if it wasn't for MST3K.
There were some really funny comments on this episode of MST3K,
but despite their efforts, I didn't come close to enjoying
it...
I won't recommend this one to anyone, not even "bad movie"
fans, unless you want to have the worst movie ever in your
collection!
