Monster A-Go Go. (1964) – Bill Rebane.

Following the crash landing of a U.S space module, the horribly mutated, deadly radiation emitting astronaut lumbers hither thither upon its not altogether convincing killing spree in the somewhat disingenuously titled Monster A-Go Go! While I don't share the director's belief that this is the worst film ever made, since malign muck-spreaders The Asylum/Blumhouse regularly make 'the worst film ever made' every month or so, but it certainly 'ain't the most auspicious film making debut. The goofy 1^st act provides hugely enjoyable Z-Movie larks, act 2 suffers greatly from radiation sickness, and the climax was, sadly, pronounced dead on arrival. It is almost unpardonable for a vintage creature feature to feature such a prodigious lack of creature, but to its credit, Monster A-Go Go acts as a dry run for 'The Incredible Melting Man', and for that reason alone, I'm willing to give it a pass. Monster A-Go Go is often entirely static, it still beheld an odd fascination, the pockmarked monster, if utilized more judiciously had potential, and the colourful narration by maestro H.G Lewis remains a psychotronic treat! Monster A-Go Go's greatest legacy is that it's better to make a bad film than merely planning to make a brilliant one, especially since Mr. Rebane went on to produce some genuinely lovely films not long thereafter.
