I finally watched this today, and... god damn. This movie brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "ape-shit."
If you're familiar with... every B monster movie ever made, I won't need to recap the plot of this film. All the ingredients are there:
- impossibly large creature escapes, destroys things
- awful special effects used generously
- useless romantic subplot between lead man and lady
That's it. That's the movie. And this is the opening scene:
As far as the acting and effects, that clip pretty much sums up the entire film. It was shot originally in 3D, so there are several scenes showing flaming arrows, boulders, and rifles being shoved toward the viewer. Without the benefit of 3D, it just looks even more retarded.
There's not much more I can say about this title. I watched it with my dad, so thankfully we were able to laugh at it MST3K-style. In fact, the best thing about this movie is the fact that it's just so outrageously bad. It's a fun sort of bad, kind of like Plan 9 from Outer Space, except much inferior.
The final line of dialogue is so incredibly cheesy and atrocious that I just laughed my ass off right through the credits. I won't spoil it here; you'll have to see this garbage for yourself if you wish to experience it in all its awkward glory. One coffin for being made, plus one for the sheer ridiculousness totals to...

After seeing this trash, I'm really thinking of upping Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend to 4/10.
