A nearly impossible to describe film. Start with the premise; an eight foot mutant sheep. That's the Godmonster. Or is it? This was, in 1973, an eco-movie. Just like the monsters created from nuclear discards in the 50's, this one is - somewhere - about the consequences of the neglect of ecological responsibility. Kinda. Sorta. Yeah.
What it is, today, is one of those "you've got to be kidding me" films that any true aficionado of distant horror and related cinema just has to have in their inventory. It will rest alongside of "Blood Freak", the other discarded horror-whatever film made a year earlier.
You've got to see the "Godmonster" to believe it. The "creativity" of the special effects department (probably numbering one or less)is unbelievable.
The "town" may be the only thing more weird and crazy than the Godmonster.
I write a lot and I tried to imagine being a writer on this project and ... went simple giddy.
"Make them all pay!!!".
It lost its political message, lost its punch and failed to make its point but it coughed up a hell of a title and carved an obscure niche in cinematic history.
Kudos to anything called "The Godmonster of Indian Flats".
Plus ... "Something Weird Video" always does all that cool "other" stuff as extras.
Ever been raped by a Sasquatch? Need to control flies? What about an escaped carnival Geek chasing a stripper? It's all here; from a mutant eight foot sheep to nasty rats.
This is lowbrow entertainment, folks, of the very best sort.
Smile.
