Review of The Naked Monster

I remember in 1985, at a Science Fiction convention at a hotel in Fullerton, California (back when "V" was the "big thing" at the convention). I was 17 at the time, and found that it was hilarious. I have been waiting for it to come out on video (and now DVD), and have hunted for "Attack Of The B-Movie Monster" for years. Now it has gone beyond the 60 something minute film spoof, that it was back then. I can not wait to see this version as soon as it comes out on DVD and add it to my collection (great movie, but since it is pretty much an "art film", as much as a parody can be, I doubt it will have wide release in theaters). My favorite scene was one that the director of the film explained at the convention that was made "illegally" (they did not have a filming permit to film at the Griffith Observatory in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California).... there were a group of Japanese tourists there in front of the Observatory... they knew NOTHING about the filming and were not "in on the joke"... they quickly set up a camera, the actors run in, point to the sky, and scream "Godzilla"... and the reaction from the Japanese Tourists was just "classic". This was an example of "Gonzo Film-making" at its best. It has been 20 years, but I remember the film as if I saw it just yesterday. Be it under its original name as the "short film" of 60 something minutes of "Attack of the B-Movie Monster" or be it under its new name of its feature length name of "The Naked Monster", I can not wait to see how it has come out as a finished film. It truly was some of the best acting of the "B-Movie" actors who did some of their last acting in this film. If you love the old "creature features" or "B-Movies", this is a movie you will enjoy. If you are a fan of parodies, you will love it even if you are not a "B-Movie" fan. I would give the original a 10, and I am sure this version is that and more.
