I really did not expect much from a film with a title like that and I was right. I guess the best that could be said for it was that at times, the location scenery was very nice and the print we saw on Turner Movie Classics tonight did not deserve to look so clean and pristine (that alone stunned me). The sheriff leading the hippies to jail was the only good moment in the film--I thought it was turning into "Pippin" or something for a moment.
Of the monster, definitely a case where it should have stayed in the shadows but we get to see it for almost the entire film and in bright light and focus. It rather looked like a giant parakeet crossed with a wallet to me. Suspenseful music cues used at times when absolutely NOTHING suspenseful was going on and other gaffs and blunders that usually make these things entertaining, but not entertaining enough (if you ever have only an hour to live, watch this movie and you'll think you've lived another 9 days).
I'm rather surprised I had never heard of this one until recently!
