Review of Monster a Go-Go

During the 1960s, crappy movies were being made left and right, classic compost piles like "Red Zone Cuba" and "Manos the Hands of Fate". But nothing as quite as bad as the atrocious monstrosity that is "Monster A Go-Go". This movie is so awful that just thinking about it makes me shudder. There are so many things wrong with this film, the script, the acting, and the classic phone ring that sounds suspiciously like a stage hand making a buzzing sound. After viewing this film "that may not even be possible", you'll wish that it really isn't possible, you'll wish this film never would have been made. The entire film consists of: scientists arguing for no reason, random monster killings where the victims are "horribly mutilated", dancing teens (this must be the A Go-Go part), and some civil defense footage thrown in for good measure, and an ending that will leave you confused, sad, and depressed, the films saving grace? the excellent soundtrack that includes some guitar scales and what sounds like a tuba being dropped over and over again. If you're watching the MST3K version, there are some great references to be had, "The Gods Must be Crazy", "Monty Python", and Gary Newman (Cars) just to name a few. The guys get some really good cracks in there (Why general!, hey Timmy my dad's dead again, can I come over for dinner?). In conclusion, classic MST. "There! your announcer feels vindicated".
