Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime fans, horror fans and sci-fi fans. If you loved Clayface, start here.
The mood: Scary, gritty.
The pace: Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off: Made in 1968: an older pace and style.

For devilishly mad 'astro-scientist' Dr. DeMarco, a typical day involves run-ins with reanimated corpses, bloodthirsty solar-powered killer robot zombies, Chinese communist spies, and vicious Mexican secret agents. But when a bloody trail of young female murder victims leads an intrepid CIA agent to his door, things get really interesting.
