Track of the Moon Beast (1976)

Mildly Entertaining At Times

Well, the film isn't all that great but it is barely watchable, mildly entertaining to me. I would have rated the film a lot higher IF the film didn't drag in places and the ending was better. Why did he leave the hospital? He should have stayed.

There is a meteor shower on night, a guy and his girl are watching it, he is barely scraped on the head by it as a piece of it falls to the ground. A tiny fragment of the small rock ends up embedded in the man's brain and causes him to turn into a lizard creature when the moon is up and full.

The film seems to borrow heavily from the story of The Wolf Man and a tiny bit from The Alligator People (in a way with the reptile creature as a killer). Nice idea because it's something different but the film drags in places - boring me at times. It's not awful but it's not all that good of a movie either.

3.5/10
