DVD Reviews of Cat-Women of the Moon
DVD Review: Truly Minor "So Bad It's Good" Cult Film
Summary: 2 Stars
Now and then a bad movie is so ludicrously bad that it is entertaining, but most of the time a bad movie is simply that: bad. With a run time of 64 minutes, CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON doesn't hang around long enough to qualify as unbearably bad, but neither is it really silly enough to be consistently entertaining.
For a low-rent sci-fi horror flick, CAT WOMEN has several unexpected bona fides. The score is an early effort by the celebrated Elmer Berstein, best known for TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD; the panoramic art work is by Chesley Bonestell, who also worked on such films as CITIZEN KANE and WAR OF THE WORLDS and who is perhaps best known for his astronomical illustrations. The film also includes the always-entertaining Marie Windsor (1919-2000), who survived a host of bad "B" and "C" movies before becoming a gritty noir moll in such notable films as THE KILLING. Even so, Berstein, Bonestell, and Windsor can only add so much to this flick, which might be best described as not so much a bad "B" movie as a commonplace "C" flick.
The story, such as it is, concerns a trip to the moon by four men and a woman (Windsor), who make the trip in what appears to be a corrigaged tin pot complete with reclining lawn furniture and office chairs. It soon transpires, however, that the woman is under the psychic domination of the moon's unsuspected inhabitants: The Cat Women! As such, she leads the men into their deadly trap, which consists of not-so-big spiders with visible strings, really bad hairdos, and one of the least inspired bits of choreography you can imagine. There are amusing moments--who knew that any one would bring cigarettes to the moon?--but on the whole it's nothing to write home about, and I doubt even the original 3D format would have helped.
The DVD isn't bad. The picture and sound elements are in reasonably good condition and the original trailer is offered as a bonus. Recommended to fans of bad 1950s and 1960s horror, but frankly it's a good thing that the run time is only 64 minutes. Had it gone to 65 it would have gotten one less star from me.
