Starring: John Agar
Director; James Sullivan
Rating: Zero of Ten Stars
A strange object crashes to Earth, and soon a mysterious monster is stalking and killing in the woods near a small Southern town. It's up to Sheriff Clint Crawford (Agar) to stop the beast before it claims the lives of too many of the bland characters being portrayed by horrible actors.
"Night Fright" is about 20 minutes worth of third-rate monster movie stretched an additional hour with scenes of aimless driving, aimless wandering in the woods, and pointless "character development" scenes where the cast of truly awful actors get to show how little talent they have. Adding to this is some of the worst dialogue ever written for a movie in the English language, awful editing, and an even worse soundtrack, and you have a movie that even the robots on "Mystery Science Theater 3000" couldn't make entertaining. To finally make the movie completely worthless, the monster is virtually not in the movie at all. (This is sort of blessing in disguise, I suppose, as the monster is almost as goofy looking as its explained origin.)
There is no reason to watch this movie. It's too bad and bloated with padding to even be amusing.

Is this the one with the alien that looks like a white haired gorilla with a bald head, or something along those lines? If so, yes, this was a terrible movie and reminded me of a Larry Buchanan movie.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed. That's this one.
