Incoherent? Bizarre? Incompetent? Abysmal? I can't think of one word that describes this cheese-fest! I don’t think that I can handle seeing this without the MST3K crew. Incoherent? Bizarre?

This is the worst movie ever made! I really enjoied the review. It's very ironic, but it's the only way to speak about this movie if you don't want to cry! Seriously, this movie was born on the wake of the low budget sci-fi movie of the 50's (such as the well- known Plan 9 from Outer Space). I've never understood why in that period lots of directors wanted to make sci-fi/horror movie with low budgets. Everyone knows that the most difficult kind of movie to make with a low budget is the sci-fi. Maybe that was the only way to capture the attention of the audience, in a period (the 50's) in which space, aliens, and flying saucers were the only exploitable subjects for the independent productions (because the revolution came only in the 60's with the couple Lewis-Friedman). But this movie isn't only bad because it was realized with a very low budget, but because it has the most strange and troubled production history. When Bill Rebane wrote Monster A-Go Go it was already bad. And also the footage shot by Rebane was bad. After this you know the story, the production run out of money, and 4 years later H.G. Lewis bought the footage and completed the movie, alterating that bad scrip written by Rebane and shooting other footage with different actors, useless scenes and adding a narrator voice (his voice). This was his greatest mistake (among the others). But I think taht Monster A-Go Go has its importance. On one hand it revealed us how a movie can be so dreadful, and on the other it evidenced the mistakes that a director should never made. After all this movie is funny because is nor scary nor frightening as Rebane wanted (I suppose, because is a kind of horror movie), and it leaves you confused and disappointed, and at the end you think "Why they made it?". Money, notoriety? I don't know. However surely it became famous the same, but only because it was so bad! I’m surprised that Monster A-Go Go has no comments. This is the worst movie ever made!
