A scientist transforms into a beast after a nuclear explosion goes off in Yucca Flats. He then terrorises those who step in his way. Tor Johnson is a famous face in the b-movie world, starring in the supposedly worst movie of all time 'Plan 9 From Outer Space'. This was his final starring role as Joseph Javorsky/The Beast, a Russian scientist who knows secrets about the moon landing and is affected by the world's 'progress'.Coleman Francis creates an unintentionally hilarious b-movie which to just say it is incompetent is an understatement. From the non-threatening presence of 'The Beast' to the narration ranging from stating the obvious to just being flat out bizarre, this has all you need for a b-movie of this kind.There's a lot of scenes where you notice it's low budget production such as the guns not having any firing effect and in the nuclear explosion scene there's a shot of a suitcase on fire with Tor's non-flaming hand in shot. But it's not just that- there's this murder scene at the beginning which has no connection to the film whatsoever. Apparently, it's in there because Francis wanted a nude scene- go figure.

I would definitely have to say this is the worst movie ever.The kind of bad that you just have to see to believe. A Russian scientist gets too close to an atomic bomb test and becomes a "beast". He spends the majority of the hour long movie stumbling around the desert. Tight camera shots help us believe he is going to different places and the cops are really climbing a mountain. The kids are hilarious.They get chased around by this guy and manage to stay calm and basically whisper their lines.Them calmly yelling for their mom is brilliant. Bad story. Terrible acting. Even worse production. This movie has it all.

If you like to laugh at "bad" movies and have not seen a film produced and directed by Coleman Francis, you should see "The Beast of Yucca Flats." Coleman Francis is arguably the worst filmmaker of all time, much worse than Ed Wood, and "The Beast of Yucca Flats" is definitely the worst movie he ever made. (His best was "The Skydivers.") Like many bad movies, "Beast" can be watched repeatedly and the more you watch it, the funnier it gets.The plot is not simply incomprehensible; it consists of series of only loosely connected events that are extremely bizarre, each in different ways, and are clearly the products of a demented mind.To fully appreciate this masterpiece, you need to have a dark sense of humor.

Oh this...this uh, f*****g 'movie', was aggravatingly terrible and I consider it boredom incarnate, I think the thing may have syphoned off a bit of my soul by the act of watching it all the way through! I now actually know what the visual representation of a dial tone looks like. It was so damn dull and cheap and the lame social commentary was so bizarre! And that is hands-down the worst monster in anything ever period, it's just a big bald angry man that grunts every now and then and who attacks small children with a stick! This picture is unbelievably vile, it's a whore-monger of an effort,a screaming pustule of a flick, a celluloid lesion upon my poor aching eyes! Seriously guys, it made me wanna weep! Gack, get back to the hell that spawned you Beast!!! I'm getting too bloody old for this level of bad viewing. Throw away the damn key, yuck. Never again.
