Viewing Notes
Despite (or maybe because of) some bad overdubbing of the lead actor’s lines, this odd lilttle movie wasn’t too bad. Such an interesting cast: Landau, Ferrer, Malone, etc.
The premise for the creature, and his malleability, make for something a little different than the traditional 1980s horror film.
The movie felt vaguely familiar and since this would be a great movie night movie, I wonder if we watched it for a movie night at some point. (Checked Jay’s watches and sure enough, we did).
