The fact that this film took so long to be seen is a crying shame. It celebrates everything that makes bad movies bad and everything that people passionate about the art form do to add a dose of freshness so that some genuine enjoyment and excitement can come from the experience. Other than the antagonist's plan, the feeling of jealousy of not being there in the crowd about to see a triple feature of MOSQUITO/ATTACK OF THE AMAZING ELECTRIFIED MAN/THE STENCH.

The PHANTOM vibes here are welcome as they don't wear themselves out. The turn provides something fun and slightly unexpected based on the film's beginnings. Loads of fun and makes me want to rent out a theater just to play some shlocky turkeys with age-old gimmicks just to put butts in seats, there really isn't a pleasure more pure than that.
