Crappy film

Ask yourself did Tommy Kirk need the money ? Watch for the "kept" female prisoner continually going into the cage to feed the prisoners,while they ask her if she'll open the cage for them. Meanwhile she exits the cage via a door to the house as they watch her leave each time. Bonkers !! She never leaves through the cage door they want her to open. Was this written for and by complete idiots or as a comedy ?

This film rivals "Plan 9" for sheer badness. The creature costume is a wetsuit with pingpong balls and rubber teeth glued to the headpiece and worn backwards. It's even more hilarious when you realize that it's supposed to be a dinosaur! There is interminable footage of the farmer and his wife going up and down stairs in their home for no apparent reason. The victims are "held prisoner" in a cave from which they could apparently leave at any time. The unforgettable line of dialog has to be the farmer saying of the creature "I decided to make it my friend!" The heartwarming story of a man, his monster, and the folks he fed to it. Highly recommended if you can find it! What a hoot!

It's Alive, from 1969, is a cheesy, low budget, sci-fi film, with way to much dialog, and little to no monster scenes. The plot revolves around a couple, who are very short with one another. They're going on a road trip, when their car breaks down, or runs out of gas, or whatever. They meet a paleontologist while looking for help, who tells them of a farmer up the road who may be able to help. So when they go to visit the farmer, he tells them he has no gas, and asks them to stay. While they're there, the paleontologist shows up, and asks about the couple. The farmer proceeds to knock him out, and drag him into a cave. So now we know he's a bad guy. He later shows the couple his cave, which is really a hiding spot for the farmers discovery: A giant lizard monster. He locks them all in the cave to feed his friend. When the husband is killed, it's up to the farmers abused wife to help kill the creature with dynamite the paleontologist has. In a predictable ending, the creature turns on the abusive, and insane farmer, and ends up being destroyed with the dynamite. The movie itself isn't bad. In fact, it would be pretty good if we saw the monster more than 2 times, and it was only for a brief period of about 1 minute each time. The rest of the movie is just stupid dialog. But really, if you're bored, then go check it out, and see for yourself what you thinks.

The film is really, really bad. It is also laugh-out-loud funny! Like The Creeping Terror (which is hands-down, the worst monster flick of all time), this movie is so bad that it is good. The monster is fresh off the sale rack at Wal-Mart after Halloween. The sort of villainess enters and leaves the dungeon/prison through a standard door which, for some reason, the prisoners choose not to use to make their escape. And Tommy Kirk is shot in the abdomen midway through the movie, yet manages to fight off his 300-pound antagonist in the end. The flashbacks take up half the film. The gaffes are blatant...no decent film buff would even take any pride at spotting them. It is certainly among the top 5 of the worst movies of all time, and for that reason, it should be seen so it may be believed.
