The Beast of Yucca Flats (1961)

Horror     Not Rated

Plot

Joseph Javorsky is a noted Russian nuclear scientist with a plan to defect to the United States in this good/bad camp classic. A violent atomic accident, however, transforms Javorsky into a hulking mutant who goes on a vicious rampage, killing those in his path.

Acting

The story is pretty much carried by Tor Johnson alone, and he does a pretty good job at the typical bruiting maniac role

Gore

All victims are chocked do death, so there's no gore.

Sex/Nudity

Not Quite

Final Thoughts

I know a guy from work, who is obsessed with Tor Johnson, and i never really got it, as i wasn't very familiar with his work, but I understand it more know. He is a very likable character even when playing the villain. Now, to the movie, this is a very bad movie, but its also bad in the good way.Despite the fact that there are many scenes which make no sense, or are just plain poor, its still enjoyable, and its only 54 minutes long, so check it out for some Ed Wood style fun.
