"Creature with the Atom Brain" is a 1955 sci-fi horror, directed by Edward L. Chan. The stars include Richard Denning, Angela Stevens and Michael Granger.
Two mad scientists have found a way to create zombies with nuclear materials, and using them to commit murders. A lot of engineering and advanced technology went into their experiment, but they have gruesome intentions. The police are suspicious about the nature of the murders and the fact radiation has been left behind. The killers have super human strength too, and it was rumoured there's dead men walking the streets!
This film used fireworks as a gunshot sound effect. It was the first film to do that. Also the making of the film was rushed and had very few breaks, It was the director's way of keeping cost low while making this film quickly. There's some cool action sequences and amusing dialogue even though it's not a comedy. The scene with the "army" of zombies was the highlight of the film. It must also be worth pointing out there's a number of mistakes and plot holes in this one. Overall, it was quite an entertaining B movie!
A no-brainer rating of 3/10.
