Joan Crawford's second film for Herman Cohen isn't as fun as the first, Berserk! but has its moments. It's an inherently silly story treated in a very straight faced manner, constantly undermined by the make up - the missing link is discovered in a cave, and scientist Joan tries to Get Through to Him before Dark Forces ruin it.
It's sort of Frankenstein with Crawford running around begging people to understand and the creature going on a rampage at the end. It could have done with another subplot or two and maybe a bit more over the top deliriousness - some more shocks/horror/camp.
The support cast feels as though it lacks a character or two - Michael Gough has some fun, but that's it. You missed say Diana Dors and Sally Gleeson from Berserk.
Still, it's quite entertaining in it's own way.
