My friend and I just watched this howler on DVD--what a mess! This flick's premise of mad medical experiments on top of a mesa in the Mexican desert is promising enough, but the execution... Oh my god, where do I begin? The wooden acting, the leaden dialogue, the garage-class FX, and, last but not least, I MUST single out Hoyt Curtin for the most irritating film score ever heard(I think it was reused note for note in the Ed Wood clinker "Jail Bait"). In fact, the FIRST time I saw this was at a SF convention in the early '80's. After showing a 16mm print in the film room, they immediately followed it with "The Horror of Party Beach"--which was light-years ahead in quality, believe me! Even the John Ashley chiller "The Twilight People" was way better than this. If you have a yen for long, d-r-a-w-n o-u-t celluloid cheese, I doubt you could do much worse than this.
