Description:
Jackie Coogan as a mad scientist? You mean Uncle Fester? Of course, why not? As the mad scientist in Mesa of Lost Women, Coogan has assembled a race of scantily clad superwomen, "spider women" with long fingernails, led by an enormous tarantula. Deep in the Mexican interior, a researcher (Robert Knapp) tries to get to the bottom of things, but winds up under the spider women's spell, and puts in a weird, lobotomized goody-two-shoes performance for the rest of the film. Anyone who's a fan of Ed Wood's celluloid atrocities The Giant Leeches, The Giant Gila Monster, or countless other examples of '50s sci-fi junk should
Jackie Coogan as a mad scientist? You mean Uncle Fester? Of course, why not? As the mad scientist in Mesa of Lost Women, Coogan has assembled a race of scantily clad superwomen, "spider women" with long fingernails, led by an enormous tarantula. Deep in the Mexican interior, a researcher (Robert Knapp) tries to get to the bottom of things, but winds up under the spider women's spell, and puts in a weird, lobotomized goody-two-shoes performance for the rest of the film. Anyone who's a fan of Ed Wood's celluloid atrocities The Giant Leeches, The Giant Gila Monster, or countless other examples of '50s sci-fi junk should love the almost incomprehensible Mesa of Lost Women. In fact, Ed Wood fans should recognize this movie's incredibly irritating classical guitar and piano score from Wood's stinker Jailbait. From the first clumsy dance number in a Mexican bar to the movie's high-tension finale, this is jaw-dropping stuff. --Jerry Renshaw
