Viewing Notes
This is a bizarre premise that if it had be executed better could’ve been a really neat film. These aliens take the identity of two dead scientists then proceed to resurrect all the classic monsters on earth… I guess to take over the planet or something. Since this is a Spanish production they get Paul Naschy to return as his trademark werewolf (I believe he also shared in the writing duties).
This isn’t so much a bad movie as it is a dull movie. There’s a few good sequences but mostly a lot boring exposition on trying to get all these monsters and preying on the fears of humans. Again, under a better hand this could’ve been really cool.
