A M Looks cool but is super boring Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Audience Member It’s ok 👍 the movie is kind of bad. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 20 minutes of science fiction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/25/23 Full Review Audience Member When Roger Corman bought the Russian movie Planet of Storms (Planeta Bur), he used that footage to make Peter Bogdanovich's Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women and this film, which had to confuse filmgoers. Corman doubled down on that mind-altering sensation that audiences had seen this before by shooting new scenes at the same time that Harrington was making Queen of Blood, as Basil Rathbone and Faith Domergue shot their scenes in half a day using the same costumes from that movie. While Harrington considered Queen of Blood good enough to keep his name on, he used the name John Sebastian, inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach, from this remix. He told Psychotronic Video that the movie "was not even a film." Rathbone plays Professor Hartman and Domergue is Dr. Marsha Evans. They're the only English speaking actors that show up, as everything else is dubbed from the Russian movie. Even the soundtrack is recycled from Dinosaurus! Even crazier, most of the credits were fake so that no one would realize this was made in Russia as it was released during the Cold War. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review ryan f Definite 60's B movie and not one of the better ones. There are parts that were incredibly slow moving which made an 80 minute movie seem very long, the characters were thin and goofy at times and the dialogue is laughably dumb. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Apparently there's like three different cuts of this movie with three different titles, so I just picked the one I saw. The movie's decent, it's got some legitimately impressive special effects for the time and some good hilariously bad moments. It's very slow moving though, just as a precaution.
