Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

alanjohnson-65117 Everything that has been written about this movie here is essentially correct and largely inarguable. Having said that I enjoyed this horror for the appearance of Harry Lauter in the role of the evil Dr Stewart Victor. Harry Lauter may be one of the greatest actors that no one has ever heard of in cinema history. He appeared in more than 156 movies and countless TV shows. He never once flirted with a main billing except for a co-starring role in 'Tales of the Texas Rangers' in 1955-58. He appeared in movies with James Cagney, Gene Autrey, Lee Van Cleef, James Arness and on and on. He was a perennial 'B' movie co-star with my personal favorite being 'Rocky Jones and the Clash of the Moons' in 1954. Superbeast was his last film appearance. He was also a gifted artist and ran an art gallery for many years. Just thought folks might like to know about a great actor that never really attained fame but who was a Hollywood regular for 41 years!

gsstocks YOU WILL BE AMAZED WHEN...the airplane leaves from 1 airport and lands at another.village ppl,from an village plaqued by evil spirits,WALK (yes walk not run)out of said village.the 2 doctors take an canoe trip down the river,then land the canoe to spend the night on the bank. THEN,after waking up,finish their canoe trip.both doctors go over an waterfall, killing the male doctor.after being rescued,the female doctor gets dressed. THEN comes out of her room,IMHO the most interesting part of the movie, WEARING the same clothes as the doctor in the clinic she woke up in.the superbeast is just an guy that according to his face has an bad case of gas.

plex You know the score: Low budget 70's flick, tight jeans, side burns, bad hair, flute music with tones of echo. But there was none of the ordinary stuff that makes us laugh or titillates us due to its overt cheesiness. This one is just plain bad!! This is strictly a PG fair: no nudity, very little violence, no gore, no bad language, so why it was given an R-rating is beyond me. The lead actress, Antoinette Bower, has been in other 70's sexploitation/prison chick flicks before, but is the main character of this movie, how or why she got this part is a total mystery. She looks to be around 40 in this flick, wears the same white jeans during the entire duration in the jungle that never get soiled. She has zero expression in the entire film- no laughing, smiling, reactions of any type even when she is told she is to be killed or discovers that the doctor on this jungle island invented a serum that makes humans revert to a "prehistoric" state. The scenery and music are surprisingly effective in this movie, but the rest plods so slowly the whole story could have been told in 10 minutes- we are talking slooooowww.

HEFILM But for all those elements there is too much time spent with the dull lead actress walking silently around and some travelogue footage to pad out the proceedings. She just rarely changes expression and quickly sinks any hope the movie has.Production values are decent(if you can make them out through a poor copy) the music isn't bad and main element of note is probably John Chambers (Planet of the Apes) make up design for the mutants and final superbeast. They are pretty much just cave man looking things though decently done.So this is in some ways above average Phillipino production which seems to use mostly production sound, rather than being redubbed in post production. But it just becomes a bore, unless there is gore or nudity cut from the version I saw there's not much in the way of excitement or suspense.The turning the tables on the bad guy element is pretty lame as well and the final battle doesn't even develop until the last ten minutes. One odd ball dream scene with the lead, still with the fixed facial expression, having a erotic encounter with one beast man, is odd indeed but not erotic.
