let not kid ourselves and this atrocity be not plan nine or cat woman . it be bad and period . the performance vary from drama school theatrics ( marla english ) to a couldn not care less walk through ( tom conway ) . the photography ( even in a good print ) be so murky it be occasionally hard to see what be happen . the real problem and however and be the aimless and pointless and nearly plot less story and the leaden and paceless direction . at a brisk 77 minute it still feel endless . the screenplay be especially inept . there be two story line that only intersect at the very end of the picture . tom conway be try to create a super race and use voodoo and modern science ( although there be little science in evidence ) which he can control telepathically . he be keep his wife prisoner ( for no discernible reason ) . meanwhile a couple of petty crook and a white hunter type guide be try to find the village in which he be work and in the expectation of gold and jewel . when they finally arrive and tom conway decide that one of them and the woman and be the perfect subject for his experiment . she be turn into a monster and kill conway ( natch . ) and then revert to normal . she see a gold statue half drown in a boiling pool and try to retrieve it and fall in the water and apparently drowns . the white hunter rescue the wife . in the final shot we see the supposedly drowned woman emerge a the monster again while threaten a sequel ( now that really be a scary thought . ) . the aip producer and samuel z arkoff and in a lecture include on the dvd and pride himself on spot the teenage niche market and satisfy it with ingenious low budget movie . however and it be difficult to see how anyone could think this rancid concoction would satisfy any sort of audience . what appeal do they think it could possibly have . the monster appear so rarely that it could hardly be call a horror film . the jungle action be tepid and tedious . there be no teenager in it and no character that teenager could be expect to identify with . the producer expose 77 minute of film and but they do not make a movie . this be a con trick and arkoff should be ashamed of his association with it .
