Crater Lake Monster

Actors: Richard Cardella, Glenn Roberts, Mark Siegel, Richard Calkins, Dan Turner

Rating: 1 out of 10, The latest in my journey through 100 bad sci fi films was a monster flick set in a California lake with a dinosaur emerging to feast on the local inhabitants whose only crime seems to be their lack of education. The monster was laughably bad looking like a poor man’s attempt at Harryhousen country. It more closely resembled something my granddaughter would construct out of playdough. That being said the special effects were better than the acting and the musical score which was grating. There was that "thrilling" climax of a fight between the monster and a bulldozer. A really bad movie but watchable for the rampant unintentional comedy throughout.

MVP: Cardella as wooden Sheriff Steve Hanson
