A pre-Doctor Who Tom Baker, a post-Wild, Wild, West Micheal Dunn and Donald Pleasance too!
Not a bad flick, but the creepiness of the plot is let down by the final creature who would have looked right at home being fought by Baker’s Doctor.
The Mutations
It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature... it can be HORRIFYING!

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately cheap and nasty exploitation film that dwells on biological horror and human degradation, made darker by the fact that the victims are displayed as carnival curiosities. It feels transgressive and skin-crawling in a way that transcends its bargain-basement production values.
