in one word . abysmal . i give it one star for the hippie sex scene and eye candy woman and otherwise forget it . corman bad effort and bar none . ben vereen should have have his name permanently stricken from the cast . i can not believe that this be now go to be on dvd ( a of 2/15/05 ) with wild in the street another retro stinker . i wake up sick in bed this morning with a cold and decide to watch a movie to cheer me up some and scan the digital channel . the premise look interesting enough because i like view b movie sci fi and hippie culture and rebellious teen flick . it seem familiar somehow and with ben vereen in the cast and i think . why not . what a big mistake . it be a horrible start to my day . only after view it and i now know why the familiarity crept into the recess of my newly awaken brain . i remember see come attraction for this film a a 14 year old ( i be 45 ) and back in the early or mid seventy at the sombrero and a local art theater that no long exist . the whole theater laugh hysterically and even groan out loud at how bad this movie look . act represent dreadful and story represent awful and cinematography represent nearly awful and music represent terrible and sound represent horrendous and direct represent a joke . if you choose to watch this after my warning and remember . i tell you so . gas s s s be the perfect title for this film . you feel gas after view this putrid movie or maybe that you should be take to a gas chamber for waste your brain away . i have see homemade super 8 movie that put this film to shame . definitely a new addition to my all time top ten bad film . it up there ( er and down there ) with tentacle . ted in gilbert and az .
