BEING, THE (From Joe Bob's Ultimate B Movie Guide) |
|
Dorothy Malone has a five-year-old son who
falls into the local nuclear-waste dump, turns into a glopola
monster, and eats half of Idaho. Martin Landau is the sleazy
scientist who goes on TV to explain how there's just a little nuclear waste in the town's water supply, so don't worry. But
unfortunately, a giant bloody animal hand has already come
through a car roof and ripped a teen's head off. Then there are
two kids pawing each other at the drive-in, when a giant green
brain moseys over by the car to watch, and then blood starts
oozing out of the car radio and the glove compartment and the air
conditioner, and then the giant brain starts going around the
drive-in jerking turkeys out their windows and digesting them.
The investigating cop sits in green slime glopola, then later
finds some weird Jello in his bed and has to run in front of a
train to escape. Then a hand comes up through the stomach of this
cop and he pretty much gets his intestines ripped out while he
watches. The slime glopola monster now treats the town as his own
personal salad bar, going after three boys who decided to burn
down the massage parlor. He looks like a Cyclops Hamburger Helper
with teeth, with an octopus tongue that can roll out of his head
like a lasso and pretty much rip the bejabbers out of anything.
One guy gets his hand scissored into a piece of lunchmeat, anther
one gets yanked through a plate glass window, and then the slime
glopola monster decides to go our to Ruth Buzzi's house and do
some tongue exercises on her neck. Finally, the creature starts
drop-kicking Martin Landau around a warehouse until he gets so
mad about being Dorothy Malone's son that he decides to slime
everybody to death--right before the cop figures out that the
creature IS indestructible, except when you shine a flashlight in
his eye. Twelve dead bodies. Five breasts. One and one-half
gallons blood. Two motor vehicle chases, with one crash-and-burn.
