Imagine yourself to be in this situation. You're out for a nightly walk, minding your own business and just when you're about to score with that blond chick you picked up earlier that day
BANG! You get hit on the head by a freaking meteorite! Well, that just sucks! Especially when it turns out that this meteorite is an authentic piece of moon rock, capable of turning you into a prowling, bloodthirsty lizard-creature at night. Okay, I suppose it obvious that "Track of the Moon Beast" is quite a stupid movie; poorly written and not the least bit suspenseful. The first half is still more or less endurable, thanks to some cheesy meteor effects and a particularly nasty killing sequence, then it becomes a dull and clichéd mess. The Lizardman's girlfriend and best friend (the obligatory wise Indian guy) try everything they can to cure poor Paul, but he's doomed
End of story. The camera-work is hideous and the lizard-transformation effects are downright ridiculous. The acting's pretty bad too, but at least main actress Leigh Drake's gorgeous legs distract you a bit. It looks like it was forbidden for her to wear anything other than a mini-skirt! She even goes on mountain expeditions wearing a minuscule skirt that is only just long enough to cover her crotch. Oh, and good luck trying to sit through that Godawful "California Lady" country song! Bad 70's drive-in horror, avoid like you would avoid skin cancer.
