Monstrosity (1963)

My rating: 5/10

Eh... I mean, it's kind of fun in a cheesy nonsense kind of way, but it does run a bit too long, even at just over an hour.

He is probably best known for his portrait of the young William Butler Yeats which is one of a number of his portraits of Irishmen and women in the Yeats museum in the National Gallery of Ireland. His portrait of John O’Leary (1904) is considered his masterpiece (Raymond Keaveney 2002).   His parents were William Butler Yeats (1806–1862) and Jane Grace Corbert, John Butler Yeats was the eldest…

Day 67- Film (number 1): Captive Women 

Release date: October 10th, 1952. 

Studio: RKO 

Genre: Sci-Fi 

Director: Stuart Gilmore 

Producer: Jack Pollexfen, Aubrey Wisberg 

Actors: Robert Clarke, Ron Randell, Margaret Field, Gloria Saunders 

Plot Summary: In the year 3000, after a nuclear war destroys most of the world, different “tribes” of survivors vie for influence and resources. The Upriver People are ruled by a war lord type guy, the Mutates are disfigured people with mutated genes from nuclear weapons, and the Norms, seemingly the most similar to people before the war.

My Rating (out of five stars): * 

Oh lord, this film was bad. I think it qualifies as the worst one I’ve seen for the project, out of nearly 70! Not only was it poorly made, badly acted, and hilariously C Grade, but it was boring, preachy, and uninspired. The running time was 64 minutes, but I’ve seen films three times that long that felt faster. 

The Good: 

Uh... um... Oh wait, there was a pretty impressive cat fight in this! 

The Bad: 

The story. It was a muddled mess. The plot seemed to be a product of some kind of nuclear mutation itself- like the script fell into a puddle of nuclear waste and sat in it for awhile. It was hard to keep track of who belonged to what tribe, what tribe to care about, or what anyone was even doing. It didn’t help that a lot of the actors looked similar. I was constantly confusing the two main female characters, and two of the lead male characters caused the same confusion. 

The jank cheap-looking sets. The trees and bushes were so obviously fake, they even sounded plastic. At one point in my notes I wrote, “Plan 9 from Nuclear Waste?” It was basically the same ridiculously cheap level of Plan 9 from Outer Space! 

The costumes. I didn’t know something could be so weird, so random, and so boring all at once. Most of the men looked like they wandered off a Robinhood set, while the women looked like they were screen-testing for Ben-Hur. There were some other male characters that either had Druid or Biker Gang vibes going on. 

The acting. It was an unpredictable mess of over-acters and under-acters. 

The moralizing. Some of it goes back to the tired old- “The US is better than the commies cause religion!” The beginning even mentioned that after the war, “science, education, and a true religion has been lost.” (Emphasis theirs.) We know which one they mean, of course. Then we find out the Norms worship the devil, but the Mutates still believe in Jesus. Cause there’s only one or the other to choose from, I guess? Blech.  

Somehow at the end, the characters becoming God fearing Christians is going to make world peace. Cause Abrahamic religions never ever start wars, silly! 

Hey, ladies, sexual assault is sexy, huh? You like it, don’t you?  (I'm being sarcastic, btw. The way the men treated women in this was gross.)

It was also funny how, a thousand years into the future, people are still bound to strict Puritanical views of sex. When a leader of the Mutates tells a couple they can’t get married because their offspring would be too horrible, the couple leaves, acting like they can never be together because they can’t get married. Why can't they have a common-law marriage? Or live in sin? Or just f-ck if they want to? Or even be romantic but asexual? Anything! In 1,000 years, people can't see past all that?

Another transparently lurid title that has nothing much to do with most of the plot.
