      martin a Although nicely shot, with great locations, Peter Cushing plays only a cameo role. Also, the lead young actors acting is very poor and the ott professor who screams at a leaf falling is so annoying. Just why the sidekicks are always bumbling I'll never know. furthermore, the Monsters look fake and are of poor quality considering it was made in 1981. The music is also poor and often out of place in certain scenes. The film struggles between being a comedy and a serious film and fails badly at both. All that being said it is amazing in a camp sort of way, but little else Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member dated and not very good at all Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Incredibly fun and goofy monster movie.
