the incredible melting man be a fantastically gross and trashy and energetic z grade production that every self respect camp horror freak simply have to see for him or herself . the ideal way to describe this low budget 70 gem be like a shameless copy of hammer the quatermass xperiment . only a thousand time filthier . astronaust steve west be the only survivor of a disastrous space mission and but turn out the carrier of a horrible disease that make him radioactive and . cause him to melt . in shock after see his face in the mirror ( can you blame him . ) and steve bust out of the hospital and leave a trail of sticky pu and fall off body part behind . doctor ted nelson have to find him urgently and a the disease also set steve up with an insatiable appetite for human flesh . the premise may sound utterly stupid but this flick be enormously entertaining and contain great make up effect from the hand of rick baker . the melt dude face look like a rot pizza and his heavy breathing make him sound like darth vader . another big advantage be that william sachs screenplay doesn not waste any time on tedious scientific explanation or emotional speech . the repulsiveness start right away and last until the very last moment of the film . just enjoy this silly horror gem and try to switch off your brain activity as much a you can because and if you start contemplate about the many stupidity in the script and you will miss out on all the campy fun .
