The Beast of Yucca Flats

[Kyle Brinkmann]

The Beast Of Yucca Flats is one of my favorite Grade Z Films.

Tor Johnson is my favorite "actor" from Ed Wood's movies.

The narration is worthy of a laugh as are many aspects of the plot.

Anyone watching The Beast Of Yucca Flats should expect something along the lines of The Creeping Terror and Plan 9 From Outer Space not Citizen Kane.

 :tongueout:Tor:  time for bed to go.  No, that line is from another movie, and in that movie, he actually spoke.  Yes, indeed, the opening scene is sexually titillating whatever that means but has no relevance to the movie except to show Tor's very, very wide ass to the viewing public (be afraid, be very afraid).  The two deputies are great at climbing cliff walls and one of them humps the wall as he climbs up. 
Mommy is rather pitiful as she looks for her two idiot boys and Daddy leaves her completely alone while the utterly mad Tor wanders around.  Daddy is the one shot at for apparently no reason at all.
Overall, there was no reason for this movie to be made by anyone at any time.  That is why I like it.

I love 'MST3K' but even they couldn't really save this movie from being funny.
Coleman Francis just can't make movies. They are completely bland and unwatchable. But not even because it's bad (eventhough they are) it's because you are just so bored.
People talk slow, walk slow, it makes you depressed.

This flick needed all the help it could get. Only Best brains could make it watchable in the slightest.
Mind you, they had their work cut out for 'em...

this movie is pretty damn brutal, unwatchable without MST3K

This film is utterly brilliant!!! How can so many not see its brilliance?

They are probably just caught up in the whirlwind of progress.

This is rated as one of the worst movies ever. The beginning "Girl attach scene" really bums me out. I cannot show this to the kids because of some stupid scene that has nothing to do with the movie whatsoever!
The sound is bad because they filmed the movie and the dubbed all the sound in afterwards. This movie makes you mad that you wasted anytime at all watching it......

Nothing bothers some people. Not even flying saucers.

I had some friends over a few weeks back and after we finished this somoene said "That was the worst movie I've ever seen. What's next?"

[JaseSF]

It's a fantastic achievement in minimalism...actually borders on true art film brilliance. Is the bunny being grabbed to cuddle or choke, that is the question for the ages.

I had heard and read so much about this movie over the years but never had a chance to see it till I received a Mill Creek "Horror Classics" 50 movie pack as a gift some time ago. It's absolutely brilliant in an moronic sort of way.

I watched this one and Plan 9 today. This one wins. Progress. How did it get there?
