Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

davidcarniglia Wow! This movie will stunt your growth. Maybe it was made by dead people, which explains why all the 'dialogue' seems to come from another dimension.Actually, the reviews here add to the holistic experience. After reading up on Yucca Flat and watching it a couple of times, it makes you feel great, because you're not: a dumb-butt Commie monster, a bunny who doubtless was uncompensated for his cameo appearance, an off-the-chain cop who shoots a guy for...being in the desert?, an assortment of cute women victims (only Freckle Mom survives), and, well, anyone else in the movie. I'm convinced that the coolest aspect, as many of you folks have observed, must be the cunning narration. It's sort of verbal found-art; a jumble of phrases conjoined with literary hacksaws.Okay, that doesn't make sense. But, so what? Once immersed in the radiation of Yucca Flat, one sees life differently; all is absurdity, reality is nonsense. So, then, this movie takes science fiction as far as it can go--through a cheese grater.

gorf This movie is worse than Plan 9. Worse than Suicide Squad or BvS...it's like having a nightmare. The strange narration, the dubbing, the acting...horrible. I like scary movies, but I don't want them to be this scary!Avoid.

Bezenby Here was me thinking that only Jess Franco had the ability to somehow stretch time beyond its constraints and make a relatively short film seemingly last for about six days, but I after I'd finished watching the Beast of Yucca Flats, I swear I'd aged at least two years.This is a fairly well known bad film, and although I'm the easiest viewer in the world to please, on my first attempt at watching this I could feel myself drifting in and out of consciousness. On the second attempt I'd had a couple of beers and got up the next day thinking that I'd probably missed something at the end, but no. On the third attempt I realised that I hadn't missed anything at all, and that most of the entire last half of the film involves people wandering around a desert looking for each other.The story involves Tor Johnson being a defecting Soviet scientist who gets chased by the FBI into the Yucca Flats and gets caught in the blast from a nuclear test, turning him into a monster. He wanders the Yucca Flats strangling people and two cops go after him. Meanwhile, two kids wander off from their family and their parents go looking for them, and therefore you have a film consisting mainly of the cops looking for the killer, the parents looking for their kids, and the kids wandering around the desert followed by a waddling Tor Johnson in bad make up.I read (on here, I think) that the film was recorded without sound, which adds to the sleepy atmosphere. You've got people wandering around in near silence for ages at a time while a narrator waffles on about anything that comes into his mind. I like my bad films to be delirious and hilarious (like Ninja Terminator, Clash of the Warlords or Fearless Tiger), but if there's one thing I cannot stand in a film it's people wandering around looking for each other endlessly (see Legend of the Mummy 2 or Psycho Cop for examples).There are parts to this film that are funny, from the inexplicable murder at the start, the gunshot wounds that heal themselves over time and the bad acting of everyone involved (Johnson can hardly move at all, let alone chase kids through the desert), there's too much waffle and not enough action on this film. It's more of an endurance test than anything else.

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- The Beast of Yucca Flat, 1961. A large Russian scientist defects and lands in the USA and is chased by KGB agents to get him and his secret papers of his moon rocket experiments. The us agents protecting him drive into a atomic bomb test area, and the scientist walks into the test area to become radiated. After his atomic exposure, he becomes a killer on the loose in the community. He murders townspeople and tourists until the local police shoot him.*Special Stars- Tor Johnson.*Theme- Atomic energy makes you do crimes and murders.*Trivia/location/goofs- B & W, Huge amount of continuity problems with this film. The whole film's dialog and sound problems are apparent with the constant nonsensical narrator story interruptions. The film opening of a nude female being murdered scene sequence has little to do with the film's plot set-up. According to the film's director, the rabbit at the end was not scripted; a wild baby jackrabbit wandered into the final atomic beast's death shot. Look for the dead atomic beast keep moving after being shoot by multiple firearms and bullets. Tor Johnson's last film appearance before his death.*Emotion- I wanted to enjoy this film but it's terrible production values and paper thin and phony plot line killed this film for me. It's truly a waste of your time and energy to see. Even the great an watchable Tor Johnson can't save this stinker of a film.*Based On- 1950's atomic bomb and radiation hysteria.
