Movie Reviews of Mesa of Lost Women
Movie Review: One of the Worst Movies Ever Made!
Summary: 1 Stars
Ed Wood's "Plan 9 From Outer Space" has nothing on this amateurish attempt at science fiction. Widely available in the public domain, "Mesa of Lost Women" (1953) isn't even good for laughs. However, it does offer the most grating score in film history. Recommended for viewers dying to see Jackie Coogan as a mad scientist.
Summary of Mesa of Lost Women
If crazed scientists, weird, sexy women and giant spider puppets excite your juices, "Mesa of Lost Women" has the bite! The infamous Dr. Arana (Jackie Coogan) is conducting bizarre experiments in the forbidden Mexican desert of Zarpa Mesa. It is rumored that he has created a race of rabid super-women by injecting them with a "spider venom" derivative so powerful and perverted that it transforms them into deadly sexual predators!Jackie Coogan as a mad scientist? You mean Uncle Fester? Of course, why not? As the mad scientist in Mesa of Lost Women, Coogan has assembled a race of scantily clad superwomen, "spider women" with long fingernails, led by an enormous tarantula. Deep in the Mexican interior, a researcher (Robert Knapp) tries to get to the bottom of things, but winds up under the spider women's spell, and puts in a weird, lobotomized goody-two-shoes performance for the rest of the film. Anyone who's a fan of Ed Wood's celluloid atrocities The Giant Leeches, The Giant Gila Monster, or countless other examples of '50s sci-fi junk should love the almost incomprehensible Mesa of Lost Women. In fact, Ed Wood fans should recognize this movie's incredibly irritating classical guitar and piano score from Wood's stinker Jailbait. From the first clumsy dance number in a Mexican bar to the movie's high-tension finale, this is jaw-dropping stuff. --Jerry Renshaw
