Viewing Notes
B-Fest kicked off tonight with this movie so I decided to revisit it to celebrate not being there (tho I heard it was a small audience which would be kinda nice to experience). This is a lousy film to start the marathon. Usually this type of sixties sci-fi is reserved for the wee hours. They needed something more rousing like PUMA MAN or BEST OF THE BEST to whip the crowd into a frenzy, especially if there was a smaller group this year.
