The film starts as an entertaining “so bad it’s good” romp, yet transforms into “just bad” when it abruptly runs out of steam at the beginning of act two. It is however, utterly ridiculous, and for that point: watch this. It is perhaps sad, that the one-man driving force behind this film’s release, Mike Jittlov, never saw a fruitful career appear in front of him; his special effects are truly phenomenal considering his budget and restraints. He spend five years creating this, maybe the only anti-union film ever made, and only gained a day in cinemas. So, check out this B-movie, if only to make awful jokes about it, and even if it is utter crap.
