Review of Eegah

Eegah (1962)
2/10
Watch out for snakes!
15 June 2001
Truth be told, if it weren't for the wisecracking antics of Tom, Crow and Joel (MST3K) I might not be able to stomach this movie. That said, "Eegah!" still has two things "Manos the Hands of Fate" didn't: Richard Kiel, and no Manos. C'mon, who doesn't love Jaws? You all remember Richard Kiel as the big man with the metal teeth from James Bond; so here's your chance to see him bite through something even more sinister - a terrible screenplay! You gotta admit, when Kiel is on the screen, he really does dominate his surroundings. Kinda makes you wish Shaq and Kiel had been born in the same era - he'd probably be a great center for the Clippers. For the man who might have been (and probably should have been) The Incredible Hulk, this is a worthwhile film; and in all other respects it STINKS. Please don't watch it straight unless you have a group of drunken wisecracking friends; otherwise stick to the MiSTie treatment of this deplorable film.
