WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Scott LeBrun The Earth is currently being over-run by space vampires. In an attempt to solve the problem at its source, a mission is launched to the distant planet that spawned the blood suckers. The team, including Dr. Rynning (John Carradine, a man who could seemingly never say "no" to a gig), Commander Steve Bryce (Bruce Powers), and comely female Linda (Britt Semand), discover a globe much like a prehistoric Earth, complete with dinosaurs, lobster-men, snake-men, bat-men, and warring caveman tribes.Even at his best, low budget filmmaker Al Adamson was still basically making schlock. This is one of his most utterly shameless, taking copious stock footage (mostly from a 60s Filipino film called "Tagani", but also cribbing from "Robot Monster" and "One Million B.C."), adding really cheesy voice-over narration (by the legendary weird performance artist Brother Theodore) and his own clunky new footage. Adamson and company take the opportunity to have lots of fun with tinting ("Tagani" was shot in black & white), and the visual schemes are priceless. Ooh, now everything's red! Now everything's green! And now it's blue! And so on. The movie is overall so ridiculous that it is quite amusing and endearing in its own stunningly awful way. One highlight: Adamson regulars Robert Dix and Vicki Volante showing how people make love in the "future".And to top it all off, the movie was re-released under a handful of other titles, all in the name of trying to maximize that profit.Al appears in the opening minutes as one of the vampires.Five out of 10.

EyeAskance A ragged, befuddling palimpsest comprised from the detritus of no fewer than three unrelated pre-existing films, all shuffled together within a framework of "new" scenes(added, I suppose, to bring some degree of cohesion to the amalgamated mess at hand). Success? ....erm....hardly. In fact, watching this tatterdemalion patchwork is like staring at one of those damn squiggly-dot pictures...eventually, you might catch a fleeting image of a snow-boarder or something, but was it really worth the headache in the end?Well, there is actually some sub-atomic particle of a story straining to emerge from all the disorder...as I see it, there's a spaceship that has landed on a planet which is the origin of all vampires, as well as home to various other predatory monstrosities and a tribe of peaceful cave-people. The bizarre atmospheric conditions of this planet cause everything to appear as color-tinted black-and-white, the tint randomly changing from blue to red to green and so forth. During one scene set inside the spaceship, an astronaut is looking through a periscope-type of device. The view presents a grid with marked north, south, east, and west coordinates. I'm certainly no science brain, but don't those points of direction become "lost" once you have left the Earth? Hmmm...whatever.John Carradine is in this flick. A little. He looks sort of embarrassed...he knows very damn well that this is a petrified turd of a film, but as the patron saint of undiscriminating "any old thing for a paycheck" movie stars, he sails through the muck like an old pro. He would have stripped to a thong at your bachelorette party for fifty bucks. I guarantee it. 2.5/10

capn_crusty This was, as others have pointed out, a pretty disjointed effort; thus, so will my comments be. Spoilers? I dunno; how do you spoil something like this?Let's see: out of the twelve dollar budget, how much was spent to keep John Carradine in Wild Turkey? I mean, LOOK AT HIM. If he hadn't been sitting down, he'd have had to have been propped up.Did anybody else see fingers holding on to the tip of the toy rocket, as it "landed"? When I saw it with my own MST3K buddies about 20 years ago, we were all pretty, uh, "Carradined", but I seem to remember THAT.Also seems to me that, at one point, there would be a phony control panel of sorts behind John C, then in the next shot, it would just be a blue screen. Seems that way...but then again, see above.And weren't there some guys who threw snakes as sort of "poisonous boomerang" weapons? I vaguely remember thinking, that was at least a somewhat original idea.Recommend it? Yeah...kinda. Just don't do it without someone to bounce sarcastic comments off of. And you might want to keep a full cooler handy, too.

Bruce Cook Also released as: `Creatures of the Prehistoric Planet', `Horror Creatures of the Prehistoric Planet', `Space Mission of the Lost Planet', and `Vampire Men of the Lost Planet'.Al Adamson again proves that anything Edward D. Wood, Jr. could do badly by accident, Adamson could do worse on purpose! As with several other Adamson projects, this one started as a Filipino feature, from which Adamson clipped footage and then shot new footage to be added. John Carradine plays a scientist who traces a group of vampire killers on Earth to a previously unknown planet, where he and his crew have to fight vampire cavemen, snakemen, and other badly done makeup jobs from the cribbed Filipino footage.The original film was in black-and-white, but the new scenes were filmed in color. Was this a problem for Adamson? Of course not! Al just tinted the black-and-white scenes and then had his astronaut characters explain that the tint was a side effect of the planet's radiation (what else?)Also starring Vicki Volante and Robert Dix. A voice-over narration by Theodore Gottlieb tries in vain to bring it all together. When the film flopped at the box office, Adamson tried his patented re-title-and re-release method -- which never works. But it did give the public four more chances to unwittingly see his rotten movie.
