An average movie

Since this movie was released, it has gained a pretty decent cult-classic status so I was rather eager to check it out. Personally, I was above all interested by this movie because it was one of the first movies starring Jack Nicholson. Back then, Nicholson was pretty much unknown and would have his breakthrough only 10 years later starring in 'Easy Rider'. Eventually, he had a rather small part in this movie so that was a little disappointment for me. The movie itself was not bad but it was nothing really amazing though. I mean, it is an interesting dark comedy and I can imagine that 50 years ago, the audience was rather shocked or impressed by this but, nowadays, it just looks realy cheesy. Still, as a time capsule, it is definitely interesting and those cheap-ass cheesy special effects were absolutely priceless. I guess, it also depends what kind of humor you dig and there is a chance you might end up enjoying it more than I did. Still, even though I'm not a huge fan, it remains a weird and decent dark comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
