One of the joys of watching Science Fiction movies from the 50's is seeing the creative use to which directors could put big budgets like $60,000. Another is the extraordinary reviews. In the case of the classic "Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster" (where, incidentally, Frankenstein does not even appear) the reviewers raved:
"Due to its lack of inclusion in a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode, this movie is not well known."
"As in many 50's sci-fi movies, NASA is apparently run by 3 or 4 people."
"Has to be seen only for realizing how bad b-movie sci-fi can actually be."
"This movie was expressly written for struggling actors who would take any work."
"The invaders apparently kept a space monster locked up on board just in case of emergencies."
"The space monster? Well, let's just say that there were apparently a lot of well-stocked dumpsters handy to the studio."
Sci-fi movies from the 50's - so bad, they're great!
