Monster a Go-Go! (1965)

This is one of world's worst films ever made - or so some say but I have seen worse.. so much worse than 'Monster A Go Go'. This film is not great at all but it is entertaining but drab at the same time. This is not a film I would recommend to anyone although I found it kinda neat in a way. This is an 'ok' bad b-film - not good but certainly not the worst.The film reminds me of a fairly good home movie... as if some inspiring filmmakers and actors made it. It has it's moments of being fun and interesting but I will admit it is a bit dry.If you really want to watch a drab but kinda entertaining bad b-film then you might like 'Monster A Go Go' - otherwise you can easily pass on this flick because you won't miss anything by not watching it.3/10

This is, without question, the worst film I have ever seen. It's not even enjoyable in the cheesy B&W B-horror sense that most MST3k fodder is. Like, I despised Spring Breakers. Kairo was so boring it angered me. But I still gave those films two stars because *at least they aren't Monster a-Go Go*. This film is just completely worthless on every conceivable level. And then it has the worst "oh crap, we ran out of money" ending in the history of filmmaking. Just... do not watch. Do not even watch ironically. If you must watch, watch the MST3k episode. The only other film I would call anywhere near this worthless is Manos: The Hands of Fate, but at least that one seemed *finished*.

Ten years before unleashing that seventh layer of hell known as THE GREAT SPIDER INVASION, Bill Rebane along with fellow Z-movie auteur Herschell Gordon Lewis directed this miserable piece of cow dung.The sorry mess immediately started when Rebane ran out of money while making the film. Gee, no wonder he couldn't afford useful filmmaking tools like boom mikes or a decent script that wasn't written on cocktail napkins. And that's when The Godfather of Gore came along.While planning a not-so-important double feature, Lewis bought MONSTER A-GO GO from the desperate director. Under the hands of good old H.G. Lewis, extra scenes and dialog were added which created an avalanche of bad continuity. The result was a weird, incoherent disaster-piece of minor proportions. The only good thing about the movie was seeing the monster, but I didn't see any go-go dancers. At least that could have been interesting to watch! I don't mind a bad movie now or then, but watching the film with the MST3K commentary didn't help matters at all. I would rather watch FINAL JUSTICE or SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS ten times in a row than sit through MONSTER A-GO GO any day of the week.

For my first review, why not start with the worst? I've seen Manos and I've seen The Beast of Yucca Flats and I've seen 10 minutes of Superbabies 2 but this movie tops...uh...truly lives at the bottom of the barrel.Monster a-Go Go is one of those movies that just sits and dares you to fall asleep and I just couldn't resist so I missed 10 minutes but I am sure that I did not miss anything. Luckily, I did wake up to see the few seconds of random go-go dancing. Damn, I wish there was more go-go dancing because that was the best part of the film. And…then I went back to sleep because I couldn't handle the excitement! Ten minutes later I woke up to see two people I didn't care about talking at a restaurant. Okay, I suppose that I should discuss some plot points. Apparently, a spacecraft crashed and one of the pilots is presumed dead. Unfortunately, he is not dead and we have to proceed with the rest of the movie. Instead he has turned into a monster who we (very) occasionally see and we are told that he has done some bad things. Later, we meet a scientist in a white coat (scientists always look the same in z-grade movies) who drones on about the horrors of the monster. So, the authorities search for the monster only to discover the big plot twist.There never really was a monster. That's it! That's the plot twist! It has to be one of the biggest "screw the audience" moments in cinematic history. If you want more information, read some of the other reviews.In short, if you are having trouble sleeping this is the perfect movie. If you are looking for a good date movie, obviously you are very lost.
