05/09/2020 So very terrifically terrible! The shirtless hunk, the blonde airhead, the Indian expert, the mumbo jumbo scientific explanations about meteorites and the moon. Lame drive-in drivel with zero continuity or plot development. Watch the last 10 minutes for some laughable lizard-killing in dayglow flashing red. Would've been ideal fodder for Mystery Science Theater. See more 12/19/2013 I'll be honest here. This movie is a complete blur to me. I remember a few things, but not enough to put together a storyline in my head that makes me understand it. What's sad about Track of the Moon Beast is that I watched it just recently, and I was quite awake when I watched it. The fact that I can't remember anything about it speaks volumes about its content. It's mainly just a blur of images and some semblance of a story, but none of it is memorable enough and nothing stood out to me. One can only hope that the Mystery Science Theater 3000 crew really stuck it to it, since it was featured on an episode of the show. They can be very good at that when given the right material, and this is right up their alley. See more 06/29/2010 21/100. The acting is so bad, it is hard to get past that. When I did, I realized the score was just as bad. The story is preposterous, and the special effects are just dreadful. I realize that the budget must have been extremely low, but that doesn't mean that everything has to be poorly done. It's very unprofessional. It is bad enough at times to be entertaining, but for all the wrong reasons. See more 01/25/2007 A tiny space-rock fragment is lodged in the brain of archeologist Paul Carlson (Cordell) when a meteor crashes near where he was stargazing with his free-lovin' honey, Kathy (Drake). Now, whenever the moon is in the sky, he transforms into a hideous, reptillian creature and goes on murderous rampages. To make matters worse, the moon rock is causing his body to become "molecularly unstable" and he'll soon explode like a mini-atombomb! Will his American-Indian collegue, Johnny "Longbow" Salina (Sala) be able to use science and ancient Native Wisdom to save or slay Paul before he blows up? More importantly, will any viewer (but one who is recovering from surgery and feeling little pain due to Percecet and muscle relaxants) manage to stick with this turd of a movie to the end? "Track of the Moon Beast" should not be viewed by anyone. In fact, the CIA and the iterrogators at GitMo should be using it as a device to "encourage" prisoners to talk. The time spent watching this movie was among the longest 80 minutes of my life... and that's even considering the fact I watched it while medicated AND flipping through old comic books! The acting is universally wooden, the dialogue atrociously written, and the camerawork and other production values are barely competent. In some cases they aren't even that, such as during the painfully bad time-lapse photography sequence of Paul transforming into the Moon Beast. Or maybe when one changes from a human to a giant, humanoid reptile, an extra set of eyes and a second nose appear and dissapear as part of the process. I understand there's a hilarious version of this film that was broadcasat during the run of "Mystery Science Theater 3000". If this is true, then that demonstrates the difference between professional hecklers and amateurs. I wouldn't even recomment this film for a Bad Movie Party. It's a sign of the unfairness of the universe that a great monster movie like "The Gorgon" ([url="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/vine/journal_view.php?journalid=245672&entryid=248209&view=public"]review here[/url]) isn't preserved on DVD, but crap like "Moon Beast" is.
