The Manster

Actors: Peter Dyneley, Jane Hylton, Tetsu Nakamura, Terri Zimmern, Norman Van Hawley
Rating: 1 out of 10, The latest in my journey through 100 bad sci fi films tells the story of an American foreign correspondent in 1950s Japan who interviews a mad scientist only to be identified as a perfect subject for the next experiment. The scientist had already used his brother and wife in prior failed jaunts down the evolutionary trail. It’s a little bit of campy fun as the reporter starts growing a second head on  his shoulder while running amuck amongst the geisha girls with his mad scientist enabler at his side. This was actually pretty well acted despite the incredibly stupid plot. The literal split personality ending had me laughing out loud.

MVP: Terri Zimmern as Tara the seductive assistant
