This movie is all kinds of terrible, awful, wretched waste of time. It possibly competes with Ed Wood movies in inadequacy and sheer lack of professionalism in every level imaginable, and to put it in one phrase, 'Mesa Of Lost Women' either is the greatest piece of torture or comedy, depending of do you get the kick out of bad movies or not.
Before any other comment I have to say a word about the music of this film. Dear god in heaven. It is the most annoying piece of cinema music ever written, it must be. And, the best part, that same "song" is played throughout the whole film, guaranteed to drive you insane.
The rest of the beef: bad acting, poorly written, logical like ape in a pool of grape juice, biggest difference to this and any Ed Wood film is, that they actually used some props in the movie. What else? Ah, the plot...
A mad scientist (like the case usually is) is doing some heinous experiments in his lab, deep in the desert of Mexico. That loon has successfully combined the DNA (though the movie doesn't mention DNA, wasn't trendy in the 50's, but if the movie would be a couple of decades newer it would be that) of women (for some skin of course) and spiders. And that's about it. The rest of the plot is left for pompous narrator and your typical the man hero.
I'd give this movie a lot of camp humour points IF the sound track would be different. Now I can't, because the music distracted me from laughing in some key points. But I got a giggles out of this, so my final verdict goes here: Serious movie score: 1 of 10, camp movie score: 4 of 10.
