Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster (1965)

aka Mars Invades Puerto Rico

How bad is it? It's incredibly bad.
Should you see it? Certainly.

This is one of the great little-known terrible movies. A Martian princess is the last female of her planet, so she and her short bald (wost bald caps ever - you'll spend the film staring at the seams) minion Nadir (!) plan to kidnap Earth women. Meanwhile, an android astronaut named Frank has an accident that ruins half of his face and drives him mad, though he has nothing to do with Frankenstein. There's girls in bikinis dancing to bad rock and roll music on the beaches, there's tons of stock footage and there's a title monster seen only during the opening credits and the final scene. It's a must see.
