It's not a great film, but nearly all

It's not a great film, but nearly all of the Caverns Underground Monster flicks aren't great films. To the letter they are all low budget B-movie throw aways. And this is no exception... save for the fact it has Wes Craven's name attached to it so people come in expecting something more... expecting a movie he directed and not one he simply produced. But the monster is underplayed and entertaining. The tension is claustrophobic and done well, and ultimately it's an enjoyable flick. Grant you, it's one of those late night insomnia flicks that you watch once and throw away, but it's entertaining enough for what it is, and what it is is a B-Movie that knows it's a B-Movie, that tried it's absolute best to make something fun inside the constraints of a B-Movie with all

It won't rip or blow your mind, but it's OK.

It's a trifle, of course, and it IS hard to know what attracted Wes Craven to such a degree that he lent it an "Executive Producer" credit, but it does have some interesting touches. The first is the compassion it shows for the "monster". In fact, although many have made the "Alien" connection (mainly because of the underground tunnels and shafts), it really plays more like a variation on the "Frankenstein" myth; there is a scientist who wants to "play God" and a sad creature that is forced to become murderous (and his killing method owes more than a little to Cronenberg's "Rabid", too). Another interesting idea is the way all the characters are initially presented as either bland or obnoxious (and boy are the two male teenagers obnoxious!), only for most of them to reveal some redeeming side later on. And the gore fans will get some moments they can appreciate in this one, particularly an eyeball-piercing in close-up! Lance Henriksen reportedly said that this is one of those films that "pay your alimony", but at least he handles it like a pro and doesn't show any contempt for his audience. The film's worst part is the ending, which gets so far-fetched it's almost funny. But all-in-all "Mind Ripper" is worth one viewing. (**)
