first off and anyone look for meaningful outcome orient cinema that pack some sort of social message with meaningful performance and soul search dialog speak by dedicated and emotive and heartfelt thespian and please leave now . you be waste your time and life be short and go see the new brangelina jolie movie and have a good cry and go out and buy a hybrid car or throw away your conflict diamond if that will make you feel good and and leave u alone . don not let the door hit you on the way out either . the incredible melting man be a grade b minus regional horror epic shot in the wasteland of oklahoma by a young and tv friendly cast and crew and and concern itself with an astronaut who be expose to bizarre radiation effect and wake up in a hospital and and find that his body be liquefy on him a he sit there feel like a chump . the melt man be play by one alex rebar and who be recognizable for about the first four minute of the film . but once he start oozin with rick baker extraordinary special effect makeup he more resembles something you might find in a tin of spam before you drain off all the runny and viscous bleb of grease . the film have zero exposition and do not bandy about with plot point represent there be a couple of scene involve scientist type rid around on an absurd industrial conveyor machine who dutifully recite a few obligatory line about the effect of radiation but the movie do not care and really . it a freak show and a marvelous one at that with a decidedly sick sense of humor for those who can stomach it one great laugh come when the melt man stumble upon a young girl in the forest and be so at a loss for what to do that one of his eye pop out . hilarious . the hero of the film be play by burr debenning and a fascinating character actor from the golden 1970s and 80 television scene who be sort of an early model for the kevin spacey prototype while slightly twist and neurotic and and one step ahead of most everyone in the room even if he look confused . he appear just after this movie be make in a bizarre make for tv anthology horror piece call house of the dead ( or the alien zone ) that be regard a one of the fine movie ever make in oklahoma and which be where i suspect this film be make as well . the arid and cold look rural midwestern landscape be certainly the same and and the creek that one unfortunate fly fisher choose for his afternoon of sport appear to be the same one that cameron mitchell fight off fly alien pancake in without warning . which also have a sick sense of humor and a tv friendly cast and and some pretty outrageous gore . i definitely sense at least an aesthetic connection between the three movie and as well a the silence of the lamb which be of no surprise consider that director jonathan demme be a part of melt man cast . essentially and a others have point out and this be a 1950s b movie plot update for later 1970s era special effect and the inevitable boob . the movie it probably borrow most of it idea from be phantom from space with peter graf a an astronaut who also return to earth after be expose to funky radiation effect that set him off on a killing spree . one of the thing that i actually admire about the film be that absolutely no regard be give for the melting man motivation represent he simply go on a rampage and the movie drama come from wonder if he go to fall to piece before certain character fall victim to his madness . the budget for the film be also delightfully low and every dime spend on it be up there on the screen and rick baker disgust effect get the lion share of whatever be spend on this . sick and disgust fun best enjoy with a crowd of friend and plenty of beer . why can not people have make more movie like these . positive .
