Frankenstein Meets the Spacemonster is one damn bizarre motion picture.

On one hand, it’s kind of like a Saturday afternoon matinee monster movie aimed at kids – and a very bad one at that. But on the other, it seems too camp to be taken at face value. Much like Queen of Outer Space, its makers seem to have been well aware that they were involved in a ludicrous project and were determined to have some fun with it.

It’s all an incredibly strange and bewildering tapestry of rock music, sex, a gruesomely disfigured android, silly space opera aliens, a creepy monster, lots of military and space program stock footage, Caribbean locations, curiously impassive extras, and a semi-interesting collection of character actors. It’s not what anyone would call “good”, but it’s also a mind-bender and a lot of fun to watch.

Some peculiar details just jump out there, such as the way the Martians slide their captives into a machine for “purification” after first throwing cheap curtains over them. It’s just plain weird.
