Viewing Notes
The Incredible Melting Man is essentially a road movie for walking flesh-melting astronauts out for a kill-stroll.
I have no idea what the plot is here, and neither did the director, so just sit back and enjoy the campiness and the excellent SFX by Rick Baker.
I may have watched this because Kreepylady mentioned it earlier in the week. Or I may have watched it out of sympathy for sleestakk who was at the 24 hour b-movie marathon, B-Fest, in Evanston. Either way, it was Cinemasochism at its finest!
I think I may need to follow this up by tracking down and watching Sachs’ 1980 sci-fi Galaxina, which stars the ill-fated Playboy model Dorothy Stratten in the titular role.
