Critiques:
“Earlier than he teamed up with Steckler to lens the likes of The Extremely Unusual Creatures Who Stopped Dwelling and Grew to become Combined-Up Zombies and The Thrill Killers, Joseph V. Mascelli directed Monstrosity, a whacked-out, sleazed-up variation on the venerable mad physician theme. It’s barely much less loony than the standard Steckler image, however solely very barely.” 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting
Even at 65 minutes, Monstrosity may have used a little bit tightening up; some scenes drag on far too lengthy […] even bearing in mind its ludicrous storyline, Monstrosity is a low-budget schlock-fest that might’ve been a lot worse than it’s. Warts and all, I’ve to say I kinda favored it.” 2,500 Films Problem
“Except for the movie’s similarities to Wooden’s late 50s oeuvre, a reliance on post-dubbing, lifeless pan narration, and a singular claustrophobic location (an previous mansion situated round Hancock Park in L.A.) is like cement within the mould. That is the form of good unusual movie allure that evokes world searches to uncover its existence.” Bleeding Cranium!
“I cherished how horrible the previous widow was all through the movie, and the way tacky the entire human/animal hybrid experiments wound up. The leads weren’t notably enthralling or attention-grabbing, however a whole lot of the peripheral motion and characters have been entertaining and ridiculous sufficient to make the film a fairly first rate watch (so far as dangerous motion pictures go).” Misan[trope]y
“All the awkward and intrusive narration is smart once you hear concerning the issues getting the movie completed. When the movie isn’t actually telling you what you have to know, the precise product is surprisingly-listless. This can be a movie a few man irradiating lifeless brains for a wealthy, loopy woman and it wasn’t attention-grabbing.” Mondo Bizarro
“There are some extremely amusing scenes seeing Lisa Lang after her mind is supposedly changed by one from a cat […] On the minus facet, such a splendidly lurid and amusing stew of B film components fails to return to a boil as a movie. Joseph Mascelli’s route is drearily uninteresting and the pictures downright primitive.” Moria
” …this looks like a 50s sci-fi movie – or perhaps a kind of PRC mad scientist movies from the 40s […] However the photographs of fairly women of their lingerie – and naturally, the horrible issues that occur to them! – put this solidly into the class of a 60s exploitation movie. On the entire, it’s a considerably uncomfortable mixture with a couple of excessive factors.” Rivets on the Poster
” …the rank incompetence odd visible type right here is much more blatant than that of an Ed Wooden film. The editor sometimes inter-cuts materials shot at night time, with materials filmed in broad daylight. Viewers are immediately transported to the sanity-challenged 2 a.m. Z-movie zone … the place nothing is actual.” Trailers from Hell
” …this can be a treasure trove of tripe: drunk, attractive mad docs; wheelchair-bound previous biddies dwelling in dilapidated gothic mansions; forbidden experiments with atomic energy; mutations run amok; and trampy Euro-dames (with atrocious pretend accents). Add screamingly inept dialogue (by 4 screenwriters!), a droning narrator, and really feel your individual mind pan go nuclear. A must-see for bad-brain film devotees; makes a cerebral double-bill with The Mind That Wouldn’t Die.” Videohound’s Full Information to Cult Flicks and Trash Pics
