Bride of the Monster 1955, directed by Edward D. Wood Jr, staring Bela Lugosi, Tor Johnson, Tony McCoy, Loretta King, Harvey B. Dunn, George Becwar and others. Horror Science-Fiction about a mad doctor (or missunderstood genius), Dr. Eric Vornoff, who is conducting experiments to turn people into super-beings through the use of atomic power. A female reporter decides to look into what is going there and its possible connection to men that have disappeared in the area. An octopus is also involved in the plot somehow. Knowing that it's far from a masterpiece, I wanted to see for myself how awful it actually is. It is without doubt an awfull movie, but I have seen more expensive blown-up pretentious movies that actually have been much worse to sit through. One just looks at this one with a certain amazement. The low budget shines through, with wobbling sets. Lugosi, who is the only real actor around, is at his hammiest. Worth seeing at least once. teleadm-- Great post! I think this is the first time I have ever seen anyone review an Ed Wood movie. I mentioned once to my brother that Ed Wood 1994 was one of my favorite movies about movies, he asked me If I've seen a real Ed Wood movie, and I said no, he answere would you like to lend one of mine? and I answered "Why not!". It's one thing to read and have heard about a movie, It's another other to actually watch it and in this case trying to keep my usual straight face.
