Track of the Moon Beast: Bad, but hardly the worst
13 January 2018
I didn't realise when I put this on that at time of writing it's presently down as IMDB's 60th worst movie ever and that's quite a feat.

This 1970's b-movie sci-fi tells the story of a man hit in the head by a moon rock, this causes him to become the titular moon beast when the moon rises. Once changed he each time goes off on a killing spree and it's up to the authorities to stop him.

As you can imagine this is deeply cheesy stuff and the monster looks like it was made by the crew of Blue Peter, the effects are naff and the whole thing couldn't be anymore hammy.

I can confidently say that this isn't in my bottom 100 movies, likely wouldn't be in my bottom 250. Yes it's bad, but there is a lot worse out there.

This creature feature is one for big fans of the genre only.

The Good:

Neat cover art

The Bad:

Monster looks dire

Daft premise

SFX at the end are laughable

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

People need to see more movies if they think this is one of the worst, want bad? Watch Zombinator (2012)
