File this one under: "Movies We Are Baffled That They Aren't Directed By Ed Wood." The movie takes place in the fictional atomic bomb experimental area Yucca Flats which we kept pronouncing with a long U even though the voiceover say it with a short u like a 2-year-old describing a bad taste. Also, they are the most mountainous flats ever. A scientist, played by Tor Johnson of "Plan 9" fame, who escaped from "behind the Iron Curtain" goes there on a visit and ends up trying to avoid other men from "behind the Iron Curtain" who want to shoot him (only one gun ever fires with many of them out of frame with just the sound of a shot to indicate that anything happened). Somehow this leads to the commencement of stock footage of an atomic bomb which turns the scientist into a beast man who looks almost the same but with some scaly skin and a lust to kill everything. He strangles a couple in a car and chases two clueless city kids and then gets shot down by the desert police.
It's mostly just a lot of wandering through various terrain and strangling for no reason. It's the B-horror version of "Gerry" with an A-bombsploitation edge complete with ominous voiceovers waxing poetic about the wheels of justice/progress/technology. Garnish with implied necrophilia and the fastest "Time To Tit" so far of any film we've seen (literally it opens on boob) and this movie is not even worth its 54 minute run time. Bad movie history right here.
Quote: [voiceover] "It's 110 degrees in the shade . . . and there's no shade."
