This is not to be confused with Roger Corman's tribute to B-films, that's The Phantom Eye. Also don't confuse it with Forrest Tucker's alien invasion movie, that's The Crawling Eye. Nope, this one is a collection of bad actors, sets that don't fit together, a script which confuses the sets, and a giant eyeball on a stalk that has a thing for women.

A goofy scientist is trying to view the eighth dimension. His test subject is accidentally infected by something from said dimension. It swells into the giant eye. The eye swarms around an apartment building by using the air vents. Huh? The vents are about four feet by three feet.

The scientist has a wife who tries to bed every male in the film (except Weird Bill) as she wants it all the time. Two male bodybuilders who do heavy drugs and hang out in their underwear are one of her targets. They are also a target for the Eye.

Anyway, the Eye runs around the building feeling up women and blasting people with green rays. Luckily it is sensitive to light. In the end it is cornered (don't know why it couldn't get away) and flees back to its home dimension.

Really bad film. The bodybuilders apartment is a two-story studio with the door on a landing in the top half. The script occasionally calls the lab the attic and the attic the lab. To make it worse, the bodybuilders place has a peaked ceiling with beams (shouldn't that one be at the top?).

So we have a film with a bad script, bad acting (I love Weird Bills fake voice), lots of nudity, strange characters, and a monster eye. It's so bad, what's not to like?

On the bright side, Jacqueline Lovell looks very good and let's face it, that is the best thing about this truly bad movie. We have "Creepy Bill" doing a really odd impression of Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice throughout this flick (Why? No one knows.), two stoners with great bodies and no acting ability - wait...did I actually use the words "acting ability" within the confines of a review for THIS MOVIE? No, no, no - Lovell is the closest thing to an actor you will find in this thing. As for everyone else...pu-lease. Lovells husband, who married her for her money (With that body? The man is truly a mad scientist!) is conducting experiments into another dimension and brings back through this tiny eyepiece INTO a street kids eyeball, which then emerges out into an enormous killer eye. Kind'a raises the hair on the back of your neck, huh?

And shall we touch upon the amazing special effects? Let us do more than touch. Let us beat them senseless with a baseball bat. Much like the plot they are awful and practically nonexistent.

Would I recommend this movie? Oh yes. While a truly bad movie, it certainly isn't in the same catagory as BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS (truly the WORST movie ever made), but then what is? It will go on my shelf with PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. For the lovers of insanely mind numbing and fun films, and I'll admit to being one, it is well worth owning.

The DVD has no special features except a small group of trailers for other films. There is not even a scene selection option. At least it does have tracks.

This film is really out there. It has some pretty good effects which i wasn't really looking forward too, so, that surprised me for a low budget film. The acting is wellll...lets just say it has its moments..lol. But, the film has some great funny parts thats for sure. If your into comedy/horror than this film is a great pick up for you other than that, its a rental for sure.

This movie was pretty goofy in it's story line and acting. The only possitive aspect was the two women being fondled by this gigantic eye from the 8th dimemsion. Theses scenes were erotic in nature and were enjoyable to watch. This movie could have been improved by having more of this type of activity. Both women were convincing in their sexual scenes. Very stimulating.

(sniff...sniff) does anyone else smell something....Oh, it must be this horrible movie. I thought I smelled rotten cheese. Come on, there is far fetched ideas that have become movies, but a huge eye ball that come out of the head of a young, gay, male street prostitute. And it came all the way from the 8th Dimension. Which is obviously a place of large disembodied eyes. The acting in this movie surpasses terrible. I love, cherish even bad movies. I own some of the best bad movies. The only thing I liked about this movie was the true "stoner" guys. Their obvious over acting was funny in alot of ways. Then the Climatic end. yeah, right. I know that there will be no sequel to this movie. Full Moon barely had enough money to get this one finished. They really aren't too proud of it, but nonetheless, it is one of theirs and they will cherish it. I just hope the rest of the world stays away.

I actually purchased this video. Why I think the artwork on the box is awesome. that's about it. I like the whole mad scientist concept and some dialogue was ok. Other than that it deserves what it gets BAD reviews. For 13.99 it's not that much of a rip off. At least you can take it to the "John" and look at the art cover. hehe Than again if you get a kick out of "so bad it's good" you might sit through it "I DID" hehe

I loved horrible movies and i thought this is horrible/horror! What a mistake have i done to see this movie! Avoid it!

What a goofy, goofy, goofy movie. I thought it was terribly horrible & would love to see it featured on the recently canceled MST3k!!

Obviously, our good fried Rick dose'nt understand that a movie does'nt have to be scarry to be good. The very fact that movies like this have no plot and cost about .50 cents is what makes them great!

The very idea that the jokes in the movie are said with no tone and make next to no sense IS WHAT MAKES THEM FUNNY! Some people need to lighten up and get a real sense of great entertainment. Big budgets, famous names, and the best acting do not make movies great. What make them great is if they entertain you. Our friend Rick is too critical and denies the fact that he is actually entertained by something put together so poorly.

I am suggesting that Rick only puts the movie down because he is in denial and worries too much about his reputation too admit that a two dollar movie was better than Titanic. And by the way Idle Hands was a horrible movie.

I have quite a large collection of B/Cult movies. I suggest you all start one, or if you already have one add this title now!
