From the same great minds that brought you 'Mad Monster,' 'I Accuse My Parents' and 'Lost Continent' comes... basically a complete rehash of the far more popular 1940 Bela Lugosi film 'Devil Bat,' minus the star power of Bela Lugosi.

It’s got all the hallmarks of classic MST3K fodder, in that it’s dull, grey, and features lots of dramatic “action” sequences of middle-aged white guys driving well below the speed limit or shuffling slowly away from a hideous flapping monster that looks remarkably like a soiled dish rag that somebody taped Johnny Depp’s hat to.

It’s also in the public domain, though I don’t know if anybody’s ever bothered to go back and clean up the print, which might be a problem. If you can find a nice enough transfer it'd be a good one for Mary Jo and Bridget to riff on, since they seen to enjoy doing the old black and white stuff from the 40's and 50's.

This movie is in the public domain, and you can find a copy on Archive.org (https://archive.org/details/PHANTOMFROMSPACEVideoQualityUpgrade) but Legend have released a very nice cleaned-up colorized print (you can see the trailer here: https://youtu.be/Fngo-VccDZo), so there's absolutely no reason not to riff that version if you can get it.

This movie is the work of W. Lee Wilder, who also brought us the Peter Graves classic 'Killers From Space' and involves an "invisible" alien who crashes his spaceship on Earth and then spends most of the movie wandering around naked in Griffith Observatory floating items around on strings. The alien can't breath our atmosphere (I hear you, buddy) so even though he's invisible, he wheezes like Darth Vader when he's not wearing his space suit, which looks like someone put the Robot Monster costume on backwards.
You'll thrill at the most nondescript and interchangeable cast since 'Radar Secret Service,' and almost feel sorry for the poor asthmatic alien who mainly just wants to get the hell out of L.A. and find some pants.

This is the perfect movie for Rifftrax - the acting is only marginally better than Rollergator. Like that movie, the cast is made up of a bunch of unknowns and one who has done some Hollywood (Byron Baudo) stuff. A young girl has a telepathic talking dog who helps her with her homework and "saves the day." (I guess) - I was actually thinking this WAS a Rifftrax movie and there was just no dialogue track. It seems to be the only project done by this team and looks like a student film at best. So I'm not sure how it has made it to the free/streaming circuit now (it's on Crackle, Tubi, Vudu and Amazon Prime) but there it is, and wasted part of a day watching it.Cute overall, and four year olds will probably rate it five stars, but this one is just WAITING to be riffed - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4170168 (it's so bad that they don't even know which spelling to use for Allie (or is it Ally?).

My favorite MST3K riffing episodes, were the ones involving old black & white horror and science fiction movies from the 1950's and 1960's. The worse the movie was, the better the fun factor. You knew that whatever the movie director's were envisioning, it wasn't anything like what you were seeing on the screen.
The Astounding She Monster starts out with sub-standard special effects, and begins with narration that is like an omnipotent being watching and judging the drama as it unfolds and giving you some useless information to set up the story, that really doesn't add much to the drama except to make the already incoherent script even more incoherent.

The "Astounding She Monster" who is an alien from another planet, pretty much just walks around a lot in a shiny blurry spandex body suit. As she moves she looks like she's a model walking on a catwalk, and I kept hearing the "Right Said Fred" song in my head "I'm Too ****" being played every time she appears. She does have the touch of death, so that's at least one cool thing that she has going for her, and I am not going to give away the startling surprise ending to this movie, that I never in a million years could see coming. The most surprising thing for me in this movie was that they didn't have (?) when they blessedly concluded the movie with (The End), even though they do suggest that someday in the future, a visit from another astounding she monster might be possible.

This movie is the reason why I have always, and will continue to: Keep Watching the Skies.

As a mercifully short film, "The Astounding She Monster" should provide plenty of riffing moments to skewer with the razor sharp wits of the "Truthsayers" known as Rifftrax. Have fun boys (and girls too).
