      Audience Member It was hardly there at all. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Very cheesy and tacky, but it's sort of fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A fun and accessible classic monster movie with great performances, and wonderful make-up effects. It's simple, shallow, goofy, and absurd, but also very entertaining. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was okay but they could have showed more of the monster gorilla Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Everything you always wanted to know about acromegaly, but were afraid to ask--A nice'n'nasty 40's horror quickie!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow, unimpressive story. The characters are bland, and the plot is cheap. Some campy fun moments but otherwise a dull Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
