Everything that has been written about this movie here is essentially correct and largely inarguable. Having said that I enjoyed this horror for the appearance of Harry Lauter in the role of the evil Dr Stewart Victor. Harry Lauter may be one of the greatest actors that no one has ever heard of in cinema history. He appeared in more than 156 movies and countless TV shows. He never once flirted with a main billing except for a co-starring role in 'Tales of the Texas Rangers' in 1955-58. He appeared in movies with James Cagney, Gene Autrey, Lee Van Cleef, James Arness and on and on. He was a perennial 'B' movie co-star with my personal favorite being 'Rocky Jones and the Clash of the Moons' in 1954. Superbeast was his last film appearance. He was also a gifted artist and ran an art gallery for many years. Just thought folks might like to know about a great actor that never really attained fame but who was a Hollywood regular for 41 years!
This was an extremely awful movie.It was hard to pay attention to this movie which involved secret experiments in the jungle.The acting was poor.Ed Wood got better performances from his actors.This movie wasn't even enjoyably bad.It wasn't as bad as Kazaam so that's why I gave it a 2.
This only film from a producer who suddenly tried to be a director is not that bad, only gently lousy, typical of those early seventies, a period where everything, everyone was totally loose, where scripts, acting, directing techniques were really free, there was no rules, restrictions...or so few. And from the Philippines - an American colony for a long time - you have understood that it was a paradise for low budget movies, those crazy independant features, that had nothing to do with Hollywood. This was only cheap and quick business. This story is a mix up of ISLAND OF LOST SOULS - DR MOREAU - and I guess also a bit of MOST DANGEROUS GAME. I repeat, don't take it too seriously, just waatch it with a "generous" glance.
People complain about this movie
It was never intended to be a cinematic masterpiece. This B movie was meant to be ran as rhe 2nd movie of a make out session at the drive in. Its suppose to be playing in the background and not actually watched.
This whole movie was absolute garbage. Did anyone else catch the hand-grenade being thrown and then the floor of the plane exploding before it actually hit the ground. One other thing I would have to wonder is, what the hell was the last ten minutes of the movie? I mean I even tried watching it after extensive drinking and still didnt understand it. Weird stuff. Just stay away from it...far away...
