Maybe I was in the wrong frame of mind when I watched THE CURIOUS DR. HUMPP. I really expected to like it more, cuz I can usually get into most anything that has a weird premise, a decent amount of nudity, some retarded looking "monsters", and a talking brain in a jar - but I found myself barely staying awake through most of this one...
So there's a mad "Doctor" who's trying to capture the sexual "essence", a horde of his weird "monsters", and a talking brain that wants to rule the world. Yup, that sums it up...
Seems that there's two camps when it comes to this film - those that love it for it's relatively racy and goofy themes from a film made in '67, and those that just don't get it. I'm with the latter camp. It's not a total waste of time and definitely worth a view to hardcore cult-film fans, and the women are quite luscious to look upon - but I just found most of it dull despite decent acting and a bugged-out storyline. Even such novel dialogue as - "I'm doing it to her - I can't stop screwing her" - didn't save this one from being barely more than watchable to me...6/10
