Watch Monster a Go-Go! For Free

hyped garbage

Good concept, poorly executed.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This one is the king of cheese. I think Mystery Science Theater 3000 did this one so I'm probably the only one who hasn't seen it. Personally I can't stand commentary when I'm watching a movie. When you go to a movie you want to punch the guy who won't stop talking during it. Then some people pay money to have a guy and some robots talk and crack jokes all through a film. Makes no sense to me. This film however has a radioactive monster running around the city freaking people out.This one though takes the cake for all time so bad its good. One scene has a man sitting at the desk waiting for a call. They have to use a crew member to make the sound of a phone ringing with his mouth. You really can't describe how bad this thing is but the opening tune is pretty cool.

A space capsule crash-lands, and the astronaut aboard disappears. Is there a connection between the missing man and the monster roaming the area? No bones about it, this is a terrible movie. Were it to be remade (heaven forbid) this might actually be alright, because the plot is not awful for a monster movie. But the execution! Oh, man! Poor editing, awful sound (many times conversations are hardly audible or are reverberating), nasty lighting that washes everything out (which is made worse by poor prints, no doubt). Widely considered one of the worst films ever made, it has earned that honor.What makes it interesting, though, is that despite being a piece of garbage, it was actually made by two great independent filmmakers -- H. G. Lewis and Bill Rebane, the godfather of the Wisconsin film industry. Perhaps even more interesting is a man named Rick Paul who acts in a small role. After this, he apparently stayed out of movies for twenty years before resurfacing in "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" as a victim and the film's art director. Odd! (Though not that odd given the Chicago connection.) None of this makes up for it being a terrible movie, though. Watch it at your own risk.

This movie is supposedly about some kind of monster but I had some real trouble seeing one, perhaps it was because i kept nodding off from boredom, but I did watch several scenes more than one to make sure I did not miss anything. The point is, in a feature length film about a monster, the monster only appears for about a minute or so, the rest is mostly just the narrator telling us about the monster. As for the a-go go part, that might just have been the more or less random dance scene, or the thirty seconds of bikini girls, the monster itself never did anything remotely a-go go.Fact of the matter is, very little happens in this mind numbingly boring, inaptly named movie. Just people talking about stuff, an narrator babbling on in the background.

For my first review, why not start with the worst? I've seen Manos and I've seen The Beast of Yucca Flats and I've seen 10 minutes of Superbabies 2 but this movie tops...uh...truly lives at the bottom of the barrel.Monster a-Go Go is one of those movies that just sits and dares you to fall asleep and I just couldn't resist so I missed 10 minutes but I am sure that I did not miss anything. Luckily, I did wake up to see the few seconds of random go-go dancing. Damn, I wish there was more go-go dancing because that was the best part of the film. And…then I went back to sleep because I couldn't handle the excitement! Ten minutes later I woke up to see two people I didn't care about talking at a restaurant. Okay, I suppose that I should discuss some plot points. Apparently, a spacecraft crashed and one of the pilots is presumed dead. Unfortunately, he is not dead and we have to proceed with the rest of the movie. Instead he has turned into a monster who we (very) occasionally see and we are told that he has done some bad things. Later, we meet a scientist in a white coat (scientists always look the same in z-grade movies) who drones on about the horrors of the monster. So, the authorities search for the monster only to discover the big plot twist.There never really was a monster. That's it! That's the plot twist! It has to be one of the biggest "screw the audience" moments in cinematic history. If you want more information, read some of the other reviews.In short, if you are having trouble sleeping this is the perfect movie. If you are looking for a good date movie, obviously you are very lost.
