About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like vintage sci-fi/horror that’s more goofy than scary, with a mad-scientist plot and lots of unintentional laughs; Not for you if you want polished thrills like Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Pros: enjoyably campy mad-scientist fun; memorable rubber octopus; lively lead performance | Cons: ultra-cheap effects; uneven acting; silly stock footage
