Not a lot of war, ninjas or monsters. A lot of tone shifts & grating comedy music.

A movie that, like a great artist, steals from others (The Blob, Godzilla, Forbidden Planet etc). But great art, it ain't.

Roger Corman takes an Edgar Allen Poe horror poem with three classic horror actors... and turns it into a comedy?

Neither scary nor (intentionally) funny. Looks impressive at times, though.

So bad it's hilarious, especially the musical parts.

The star/producer/writer/director also sings, and every time he did, I cracked up laughing.
