Title: Angry Red Planet: Reaction at the original premier
Review: Way back when, when exploitation flicks were really in full bloom, came "The Angry Red Planet" which was purported at the time to be filmed in a new film process, which turned out to be a red wash to make the cheap scenery and astoundingly dumb visual effects look like Mars.For the record, the film actually had a World Premiere at LA's former 4-Star Theatre, once located in the Miracle Mile District.I was just a kid and the screening was not filled, although the stars of the film, namely Nora Hayden, Gerald Mohr and Jack Kruschen (who went on to be a major character actor) attended - so theatre mangement let me in to take a look. Without giving away too much, many shots were apparantly lifted from an old 3 Stooges short, the film reeked of cheapness, the music score wasappropriately schlocky, and it was a cheap shot from beginning to end, however, it was fun and worth seeing once..just to see the real low end of the genre.Worth seeing anyway.
