I know it's Al Adamson and all(his heart was in the right place)but still it reeks of low-budget turkey. In fact, some friends of mine used to get together & watch this every year on Thanksgiving night..a turkey on turkey day!

He would have been better than what we were given. P.S....funny this should come up....I was watching it late last night...technically early Saturday morning.

Actually I agree the film is a guilty pleasure. The first scene between Dracula and Dr. Frank has to be the greatest bad dialogue in film history.

That is truly hilarious. Could the "unofficial committee" that pegged PLAN 9 as the worst horror film ever please have another look at D vs. F? I think PLAN 9 is CITIZEN KANE compared to this turkey! A true Open The Window Production... Jim N

Even just taking Al Adamson as an example, he's got worse films. BLOOD OF GHASTLY HORROR is a quick example! Ever try sitting through some Jess Franco snoozers? Or Andy Milligan? Woo-hooo! :) ---------------------- "It's MORE ... than a hobby!"

Jul 23 06 5:04 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I just recently mentioned to somebody who called REPTILICUS the worst giant monster movie (or something just as damning), "Where've you BEEN the last 20 years?" Now that home video has made it possible for everybody and his brother to become moviemakers, I've been exposed ("thanks" to FANGORIA) to a vast number of giant-monster flicks that make REPTILICUS shine by comparison. A few more years of this glop and REPTILICUS will probably be in the top 15 or 20 percent of giant-monster movies, I'm sorry to say. And DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN I feel the same way about. The fact that post-1970 moviemakers have made jillions of execrable Drac-Frank movies doesn't make DRAC VS. FRANK one bit better, but let's not hang onto the opinion that it's among THE worst -- that opinion should have gone out with the mood ring. For "Monster Kids," its cast values alone should put it about 100 rungs above most of the subsequent stuff.

Jul 23 06 7:17 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'd rather watch this than anything Ed Wood ever did or 99% of the direct to dvd/sci fi channel dreck that is foisted upon us. However it is pretty bad but as Joe said, better than Horror Of The Blood Monsters. "You suffer the consequences of speaking your mind if it isn't what people want to hear"-Adewale Ogunleye

Jul 23 06 11:18 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Re: Tom's comments about Big Monster movies. I have to agree, the recent decade or so of direct-to-video behometh's have been appalling bag - especially the endless iterations on the Boa v Python, Giant Rattler v Grass Snake theme. Roger Corman's Carnosaur films are pitiful in the extreme and I imagine are the sort of thing Weaver dislikes viewing most.

Say all the bad things you want about '50s sci-fi cheapies but at least THOSE monsters took on NY, Chicago, London, etc., etc. In 90-something percent of the recent things, to keep costs low, we get THE MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE EMPTY WAREHOUSE or ....CHALLENGED THE ABANDONED CARGO SHIP or .... CHALLENGED SOME CRUMMY TUNNEL SOMEWHERE. To keep costs low, the giant monsters are confined to some broken-down facility for the whole movie, with endless scenes of Future Victims wandering around with flashlights looking for them. Around the 75-minute mark, I'm just dyin' to be watching instead something as semi-ambitious and outdoorsy and FUN-bad as REPTILICUS.
