Body Of The Prey (1966)

★★★★★ · 5 stars to Skybandit · vonnoosh · 2015-05-10

I want to thank Skybandit for uploading this and to help answer a question I had regarding this movie. Had Body of Prey aka Venus Flytrap (or as I've known it for years, the Revenge of Dr X) been made in 1970, the theory that Ed Wood had written it wouldn't ring so true to me. Knowing it was made in '66 and may have been an original story sold to Thomson makes much more sense. I firmly beilve the story idea came from Wood but nothing in the script itself feels like an Ed Wood script. The dialogue isn't jaded and stilted. The scenes, while mostly uninteresting don't drag as bad with tiresome…

I suspect that the association with Toei is the monster "Insectivoras". Toei most likely created the monster suit. I may be wrong, but I think that it has a certain "Toei look" to it. Toei has been credited for the creation of Yongary and the miniature effects for that film. For those who don't know, Toei is the studio that produced Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot (aka Giant Robo) and the original Japanese versions of Power Rangers. This movie must have gotten some sort of distribution since it is known under multiple titles and a print was available to make the initial gray market VHS…

This is my new favorite movie! From the Romper Room sounding music, questionable science and the doctor with anger issues, it's an hour and a half of entertainment. And I agree, it sure sounds like one of Ed's movies (story and dialogue), although the sets are better than his usually are. I'm going to recommend this to my select group of friends that enjoy the truly horrible :-)

Every movie does not need to be an Academy performance, for Pete's Sake! I feel that if a group of humans and/or plants, or any kind of ?, can create a movie of any kind, should be admired! It is so easy to sit back and criticize someone's efforts. YUP It seems to me there is an enormous amount of work and cost to do any movie. Kudos to anyone who attempts to try and make a movie. I always try to watch any movie with an open and accepting mind. AHHHHHHH Yes, the acting and script was pretty silly & bad. But I say I LIKE IT I LIKE IT I LIKE IT CHA CHA CHA Just Saying....

A bad movie and the dialogue is certainly bad enough to have been written by Ed Wood. "Flattery will get you everywhere doctor!" I was half-listening while working and looked up to see three topless Japanese women walking on the beach. I wouldn't have had it running at work had I known that. Nothing obscene (unless you think nudity is obscene) but not work safe. I'm halfway through and getting impatient for killer plants... 3 points for the badness of it all. Check out the music especially.

...from the very first scene, when Angry Doctor incoherently explodes about not having any cigarettes while his colleague reminds him he doesn't smoke. I've seen James Craig turn in adequate performances in The Cyclops and a few bit roles, so the film's problems lie elsewhere. Still, it's watchable and fun.
