Everyone wants some atmospherium; the lousy scientist and his wife, the two aliens and their escaped pet, the skeleton and the mad scientist. All of them want atmospherium!
Fay Masterson (Betty), Andrew Parks (Kro-Bar), Susan McConnell (Lattis), Brian Howe (Dr. Roger Fleming), Jennifer Blamire (Animala), Larry Blamire (Dr. Paul Armstrong), Dan Conroy (Ranger Brad), Darrin Reed (Mutant), Robert Deveau (Farmer).
This 50's sci-fi spoof follows along as a strange meteor containing atmospherium crashes to Earth. Scientist Dr. Paul realizes a couple of stranded space aliens need the mineral to fuel their ship and leave Earth, as soon as they find their lost mutant pet. But mad scientist Dr. Roger has teamed up with The Lost Skeleton and has his own plans for the rare mineral, which include help from Animala; a create made from the combination of 4 other animals. Once this intricate and well detailed plot is configured, the remainder of the film is funny 50's satire and three-eyed mutants.
Acting was silly but quite fun. Howe, Masterson, McConnell, Conroy and the rest were quite a bit of fun. Blamire was silly fun playing a combination of 4 animals. Parks did well with his serious guy grin and dialogue.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds do a wonderful job of replicating the 50's pulp horror films. Lacking CGI, action scenes and creature effects are clumsy and light but still quite funny. Dialogue was campy and corny with plenty of good laughs. Sound and soundtrack are okay.
Overall if you enjoy campy 1950's horror flicks, satire, parody, poor costuming, slapstick horror, or black and white films you should enjoy this one. Likewise those who enjoy their frontal lobe being liquefied by atmospherium should quickly become addicted and begin immediately searching for the high-quality sequel; The Lost Skeleton Returns Again!
With a kiss, literally one reference to foul language, and pretty much nothing else to scare or offend anyone, preens and above should be fine with this one.
