MONSTROID(AKA: MONSTER)(1980)
In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics
This is pretty bad! Basic story is there's a
monster created by toxic waste being dumped in
the water of a small town in Columbia! Even the
great John Carridine can't save this one!! D
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
This is a wonderfully goofy example of a self
produced, written and directed vanity project ...while
I was working as a crew member John Carradine
commented to me (before the burning at the stake
sequence): "This is the worst piece of sh*t I've
ever worked on ...and I've worked on a lot of
pieces of sh*t." Also An interesting moment
earlier when Jim Mitchum was having trouble
with his lines and started cursing in the
courtyard location of the Santuario (a religious
shrine in Chimayo) - at which point one of the
local "vato loco" low-rider onlookers
growled "...show some respect man", which
apparently caused Jim to remember where he
was, as he then made a very profound and
heartfelt apology for his inappropriate
behavior. In any case the crew did the
job on deferment and were never fully
paid - but came away with plenty of
particularly bizarre stories - like the
night we caught the producer/director's
10 year old son entertaining himself by
constructing miniature Burmese tiger traps
for us to break our legs in. Like they
say: "Ya gotta' love the Biz..." - thirdbid
