Movie Reviews of Zarkorr! The Invader
Movie Review: Slapped together from odds and ends!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Charles Band produced Zarkorr and Kraa in the following manner. He hired a LA special effects house to film two brief shorts compiled of nothing but giant monster footage (smashing things, roaring, stomping around, etc.).
He then hired a writer to create a story around (and limited to) this completed footage. The result was first Zarkorr! The Invader. It basically works but the monster, who looks cool and has a creepy scream, is on camera far too briefly. The second feature Kraa! The Sea Monster is a little bumpier in its production. The monster footage is clearly of a "sea monster" and that is the title of the movie. But the newer footage indicates that it is a space monster. So there is a bit of convolution here. Secondly, Band decided to do some late production re shooting and added some Power Ranger/Star Trek type characters and a space villain. (The original edit of Kraa! was almost identical to Zarkorr in plot. The new footage remedies this but sticks out like a sore thumb as being new and different looking from the rest of the movie. Kraa has the benefit of being made second and utilizes a lot of stock footage from Zarkorr!. Actually, I wonder why Band didnt pad the film with more stock footage from his own earlier sci fi films (ex. Day Time Ended) or public domain military footage to make these flms feel more like classic monster movies. Basically these films are OK but were shot on Video, but given a film look digitally, or electronically. Zarkorr has a "shrunken" character that allows the reuse of oversized props from Dollman. Kraa has a creepy puppet character that looks almost the same as the
flesh eating crab monster from Hammer's Lost Continent. (It also appears to be rotting/falling apart right before your eyes. hich gives me the feeling that it too was a reused prop from an earlier production.
The alien villain Lord Doom is also a puppet and loks similar the the cheracter Sutek from Puppetmaster 4/5.
