A Glaring Admisson From Yesterday's List!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                  I am talking about the list of potential films I hope "Sventoonie" deconstructs in his upcoming season.  One I left out is 1964's "The Flesh Eaters."  Oh, boy, is this something.

                                 It starts out something like "She Demons."  A group of people are stranded on a deserted island, which was clearly shot either on Long Island or Fire Island.  It is inhabited by Martin Kosleck as Peter Bartel, a mad scientist--is there any other????????--who is experimenting with chemicals to concoct a liquid that consumes human flesh.  Now, why would anyone want to do this?  Power, I am sure, but these types never face the sobering fact--with all the world populaces gone, whom does one rule over?????????

                                   Meanwhile, the film is stolen by Rita Morley, who plays a Princess Kosmonopolis  (or, as she is better known, Alexandra del Lago, in Tennessee Williams' "Sweet Bird Of Youth') type, who is clearly channeling Lauren Bacall.  So much so I wonder why Bacall was not recruited for this production, but then who would expect her to do this piece of crap?  Not she!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      The movie is pretty slow moving, but it culminates when this big blob thing, pictured, emerges from the water, and just about fills the entire TV screen.  It looks so ridiculous I have to wonder how, on this budget, the special effects department achieved such a thing.

                                         Which is reason enough to watch the film, and to be featured on "Sventoonie."

                                           Girls, I am telling you, it is a riot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
