Step back into a time of outrageous movie-theater gimmicks and Iarger-than-Iife-B-screen stars in this charming homage to the great sci-fi and horror flicks of the 1950s and 2960s.
John Goodman is at his uproarious best as the WiIliam Castle-inspired movie promoter Lawrence WooIsey, who brings his unique brand of fIashy showmanship to the unsuspecting residents of Key West, Florida.
It's 1962, and fifteen-year-old fan Gene Loomis (Simone Fenton) can't wait for the arrivaI of Woolsey, who is in town to promote his Iatest offering of atomic power gone berserk, Mant! But the absurd vision of Woolsey's tale takes on a sudden urgency as the Cuban MissiIe Crises places the reaI threat of atomic horror just 90 miles off the coast. With the heIp of Gene and Woolsey's leading lady, Ruth (Cathy Moriarty), the master showman gives Key West a premiere they'll never forget. Anything can happen in the movies, and everything does in this hiIarious tribute to a more innocent (and outrageous) time in American cinema. |
