“The towering presence of u0026quot;Swedish Angelu0026quot; Tor Johnson and laughable narration that sounds at times like some kind of oriental poetry fail to make this film more than barely watchable. There is no real dialogue (presumably the producers couldnu0026#39;t afford a travelling microphone) — all the dialogue is postdubbed with the actors conveniently turning their heads away when the speak! — or story, and the only effects are a guy parachuting off a helicopter and Johnson in pancake makeup. Still, a somehow amusing low-budget film filled with friends and associates of the late great Ed Wood.”
