REVENGE OF DOCTOR X(1967)
(AKA: Body Of The Prey)
In the set: Mad Scientist Theater
An overworked and very wound up scientist
takes a little vacation to Japan on the
advice of a co-worker! While there he
gets the idea to cross polinate a venus
fly trap with a local underwater rubber
plant! The results, a very hungry, very
phony looking monster!! Volcanos, pretty
Japanese girl, bumbling caretaker and
dogs appear!
Bad acting, faded picture, poor sound,
odd unfitting music, unknown story and
overacting abounds! Some nudity! C
From a reviewer from IMDb.com:
"Venus Flytrap" AKA "Revenge of Doctor X"
AKA "Body of the Prey".
What an awful film but it is strangely
entertaining! I couldn't help but to get
a few giggles out of this one. The first
hour or so of the film you will find
"Dr. X" going to Japan & meeting his
new beautiful female Japanese assistant
who's father has several resorts but
one that is abandoned with a greenhouse
way up in the mountains. He and his
assistant move into the resort and
start building the greenhouse back
up again. He has a Venus Flytrap that
he carried with him from the U.S. and
he decides to cross it or hybridize
with another Flytrap that lives in
the ocean in order to prove that all
life, including mankind, has come
from the ocean from evolution! In
the meantime he and his assistant
are falling in-love. It's the last
half hour in Frankenstein style that
"Dr. X" brings energy to the plant
via lightening and that is when we
get to see the Plant Creature! The
creature can walk and ends up
terrorizing a local village. This
is where the film will remind you
more of Frankenstein: the villagers
go after the creature with torches!
The film is simply fun and sometimes
funny. When the film first started,
I thought I was either going to turn
it off or fast-forward to watch it
but I got caught up in the movie - I
found it oddly entertaining yet
awful at the same time.
