It’s not an awful story for the genre and the time - it just honestly feels like the script was rushed, and for decent reasons: it was.
It was made in all of a week. I couldn’t dig up the production numbers without deeper-diving than I had time for this week - but I do know it was made on the equivalent of couch cushion change and a can of SPAM.
The wildly endless remakes an reimaginings aren’t necessarily all that better - just in production values. If I had to guess - most of the budget for this probably went to the 3D filming, and that’s the weird part for me. Made on a shoestring, but splurged on 3D.
It’s pure camp though - and public domain and available on YouTube. Worth suffering through.
The script sounds like it needed some rewrites.
Yeah…
