Rish Outfield's reviews
This was really weak, basically a D-grade 70's TV movie, except for the melting man makeup.
The 'story' went something like this: there's an astronaut who, after returning from Saturn's rings, begins to melt. And kill. And melt. He stumbles around slowly, bumps into somebody, stumbles around some more, remembering his space mission (in voice-over), leaving colorful globs of himself everywhere he goes.
It was horribly slow. Perhaps the screenplay was thirty pages long, as it had enough story for a fifty minute film, stretched into long 125 minutes. Very talky, this had amazingly awful dialogue (A laugh-out-loud example was: The first guy says, "You can't tell anyone, not even your wife." There is a long pause. Then the second guy says, "You know I'm not married, Ted."), but never seemed to say anything. I should have fast-forwarded two-thirds of this thing, but then, I might have missed some bad lighting. It featured a couple of stupid kids, who showed off the really bad dialogue and embarrassing fashions. Like all Roger Corman movies, this makes liberal use of stock footage. But I don't think Corman did this one. Hmmm.
The only elements of interest are the disgusting melting effects, created by Rick Baker. You get to see a lot of truly revolting dripping and clotting, if that's your bag. A movie this awful might be fun to watch if you had a bunch of friends over and were really drunk and maybe had somebody to fondle. Since I had none of those things, I didn't have such a good time.
