If you enjoy cheesy 1950's "B" creature features, then this film is for you.
This movie is a lot of fun, though it would have been even more fun if it had actually been
filmed in Mukwonago WI at the real Phantom Lake. Other than that minor detail
I can't really fault this movie. The dialog is funny with great silly names for scientific equipment.
Strongly recommended for all. The audio and video quality is very good. Although, I had to use my
back up player to play it. The disk had some problems of the type where everything freezes up
and then goes back to the beginning of the disk and starts over.

This movie reminds me of the B-sci fi movies of the 50's.I just loved it.One has to appreciate that era in order to appreciate this movie.If you are not a fan of 50's sci fi then you probably will not like this.

This is one of my most favorite movies ever. It is both a parody and homage at the same time, something few "comedy" type movies can say.

It is a spoof of science fiction and horror movies of the 1950s, shot in a way that directly recalls those classic films of the bygone era.

After atomic waste is dumped into the serene waters of the lake, two groups come together: a group of recently-graduated teenagers looking for fun in the woods, and a science professor and his assistant, who are in the area to perform ... science.

When a wayward soul stumbles upon the atomic waste-filled waters and is transformed into the monster, it is up to Professor Jackson to save the day. But can he? Does he possess the scientific knowledge that will allow the teenagers to escape, or are they doomed to be hugged to death?

And just what are two supposed police officers doing while they patrol the lake? Are they officers of the law, or something more sinister?

Find out the answers to these questions and more in Monster of Phantom Lake!

And when you're done, look for the sequels. As of this writing, there are three more in the series: It Came From Another World, Cave Women on Mars (set in the far off futuristic world of 1980), and Terror From Beneath the Earth.

And if you're wondering, Cave Women is my favorite so far.

Each of the films is sprinkled with references to other sci fi movies, tv shows, and books. Some of the references may be too subtle for the average viewer upon first watching, but see just how many references you can spot.
