After making fun of a fortuneteller, Jerry is hypnotized by her into carrying out a murder. She has poured acid on previously controlled subjects (and some not controlled) and keeps them in her closet, so Jerry is in much more trouble then he knows.
Now that’s a name for a movie. It says, “this movie is weird,” and it’s right. Not much in The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? follows normal filmmaking traditions. Most films don’t stop the action to show a rather long, amateurish dance number, much less do it over and over. Most don’t have a guy in an obvious Halloween mask walking about.
As for the plot, well I usually try not to tell too much with my brief synopsizes, but for this movie, my two sentences amount to a majority of the film. Almost nothing happens (leaving more room for dance numbers). Director Ray Dennis Steckler plays Jerry under the name Cash Flagg. Now where did he get the idea that Cash Flagg was a reasonable name? Perhaps an incredibly strange name. Maybe a mixed-up name. Ah! It’s all becoming clear. The zombies in question are hypnotized, acid-burned guys who live in the closet. I don’t think Romero got his inspiration here.
For clarity: this is a poorly directed, horribly acted, pathetically plotted film with no frights and no action, but some dancing. As a film, I can’t recommend it to anyone. However, it is bad in a way that’s so odd that it is a kick to make fun of it. Toss it on when you have some friends over, drink a lot, point, and laugh.
