Astro-Zombies, Roboter des Grauens (1968)

Astro-Zombies, Roboter des Grauens: Directed by Ted V. Mikels. With Wendell Corey, John Carradine, Tom Pace, Joan Patrick. The Plan – to build a super human. How? By murdering innocent, convenient victims, and using various bits of them. The result? Creatures on the rampage.

“Word on the street has it that u0026quot;The Astro-Zombiesu0026quot; is one of the worst films of all time, right down there with u0026quot;Plan 9…,u0026quot; u0026quot;Robot Monsteru0026quot; and u0026quot;The Beast of Yucca Flats,u0026quot; and for once, the word on the street is right. This movie really IS an incredible stinker in every conceivable department, and is a fairly bewildering experience to sit through. I for one could not figure out what was going on throughout much of the film, despite the inanity of the proceedings. Tura Satana, so bodaciously kickass in the late Russ Meyersu0026#39; u0026quot;Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!,u0026quot; does add some sodden spark to the proceedings, but John Carradine is reduced to mumbling techno gibberish in his zombie lab, and Wendell Corey, in his last film role, probably wished that he was dead (he died right after filming was completed!). Itu0026#39;s hard to believe that Wayne Rogers was involved as a producer and co-writer of this mess. Oh, Trapper, what were you thinking?!?! Horrendous acting, crappy editing and amateurish directing, combined with a mishmash of a plot involving skull-faced, radio-controlled, synthetic cadavers (or something like that…Iu0026#39;m really not too clear on this point), Mexican secret agents, the CIA and mutilation murders, all combine for 90 minutes of semipainful head shaking. The film is an absolute must for all connoisseurs of bad cinema, but all others really should be warned away. This movie really is BAAAAAAAAD!”
