The Astro-Zombies Review

Review of The Astro-Zombies (1968) by screenqueeen: 👍 3/5

7/100

hardly the worst thing i've ever watched but certainly one of the most lukewarm things i've seen. there's an attitude that makes me think of ROBOT MONSTER (maybe it's the bookending toy robot credit sequence) but not quite in the array of full on self-aware shenanigans*, instead a version of CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN with shapely tits. and a well-cast Tura Satana tearing up the screen every time she's there definitely doesn't hurt the film either.

put this on at parties!!

*after the scene where an astro zombie retreats from a near-assassination it steals a flashlight to point at its solar collector (or whatever), then some more movie happens. in a cutaway to the zombie's progress on its way back to the laboratory it still has the flashlight beam trained on it in broad daylight. just a silly thing that made me smile.
