Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

adriangr The Incredible Melting Man is a movie with the slenderest plot imaginable: a man called Steve West develops a condition which causes his flesh to liquefy and drip off. He goes on the run killing people until the film ends. That's it."TIMM" (I'm not writing out those words any more than I have to) might have worked if this flimsy situation was padded out with some emotion. The title character only appears in the film as a recognisable human being for the first 2-3 minutes. Pretty soon after that he's a shambling, people-eating ghoul with no dialogue and only a wheezy laboured breathing noise to act with. If the character of Steve West had been given any kind of personality, we could have sympathised, or at least cared just a little bit about him and his predicament, but he has no character whatsoever. The film only seems to exist to showcase the gory attacks and the disgusting melt effects, both of which are well done, although as usual it's easy to spot when we are seeing the actor's real eyes through the gloop and when we are seeing a very different looking one plop out.The movie is full of very poorly acted and staged scenes. Steve West starts out confined to a hospital, but when a screaming nurse dashes out of his room, she is next seen running through what looks like a huge hangar/warehouse/cold storage corridor. Which is also deserted. Later on, two main characters are seen being driven along this same corridor on some kind of automated moving platform, going past chicken wire screen doors covering vast chambers of giant machinery, venting and blinking lights. What was the name of this "hospital" again? A scene involving a fisherman ends with a very nasty scene of a severed head breaking open on rocks - great effects, though. A painfully bad scene of hide and seek with three child actors really grates on the viewers patience, as does an even worse scene of a doddery old couple in a car talking about oranges and lemons. As does the scene where a young couple are attacked at home and the director thought it would be good to show the woman going into an unconvincing meltdown for many, many frames of pointless screen time.It is possible to watch TIMM just for the gore and the gloop, but along with this you have to endure the poorness of a fake eye falling out, the ineptness of the actor keeping his arm inside his shirt to simulate not having one, and the fact the Steve West's body seems overall a lot larger and fatter after he starts dissolving than it was before, due to the makeup having to be applied over a normal, non-melting actor. Add to that all of the terrible scenes of non-horror that pad out the running time, and you've got an experience not really worth sitting through.

Bezenby When I was a kid growing up in Glasgow, Scotland, in the eighties, there was this video shop on Alexandra Parade that displayed all sorts of films that looked terrifying to my tiny mind. The priest with the bloody head on the cover of The Boogeyman, the lady being eaten by worms coming out of her shower on the cover of Squirm, and of course the cover of the Incredible Melting Man.Finding nothing better to do in my adulthood, I have sought out all of the above (and countless more) and can say that the disparity between projected terror and the actual hilarity of the film itself is rather large. This film is bad, but it's also great! In a bad way.They have quite a good idea for a movie monster, then just send him wandering out into the wilderness while the worst man hunt in history takes place. Half-arsed? No arsed. These (two!) guys get tired and need snacks/booze and one of them even has a nap! Brilliant.So we've got an astronaut who looked at the sun through the rings of Saturn and is now melting and leaving bits of himself all over the countryside while chowing down on people. It's so much funnier than it sounds. He just wanders about while another guy kind of follow his piles of goo while shouting his name (it's Steve) while also continually introducing himself to everyone too (his name is Ted Benson - get used to hearing that by the way).You've also got smoking kids, fat nurses running through glass in slow motion, old people being annoying, an amazing hilarious end to our monster, and so on and so forth. This is a great bad movie. I never get tired of watching it!

tomgillespie2002 Whilst on a space mission to Saturn, astronaut Steve West (Alex Rebar) is exposed to mysterious radiation which leaves him severely burned all over his body. His two fellow astronauts don't survive, and upon his return to Earth, Steve is bandaged and hospitalized by Lisle Wilson from Brian De Palma's Sisters (1977) while the doctors run further tests. He breaks free of his restraints and attacks a nurse, devouring her face and fleeing into the countryside. Dr. Ted Nelson (Burr DeBenning) is given the task to track down Steve before he commits more murders by General Perry (Myron Healey), who later joins him on the hunt.Inspired by the Universal monster movies of the 30's and 40's, The Incredible Melting Man puts more focus on make-up and effects than blood and guts, which were on the rise due to the increasing popularity of slasher movies at the time. When Steve escapes the hospital, he begins to melt, his hands and face sliding off his skin in a vomit-inducing yellow and brown goo. Make-up artist Rick Baker's (of An American Werewolf In London (1981) and Videodrome (1983) fame) effects are, sadly, the only incredible thing about this cheap shlock-fest. A baffling script fails to explain just how Steve made it back home without his fellow astronauts, and more crucially, why he has suddenly developed a taste for human flesh and has gained super-strength. Even the movie's tagline, "the first new horror creature", makes no sense.The appalling acting is made worse by some strange narrative decisions. One scene includes Dr. Nelson, having just been commanded by Perry to lead the search for Steve as a matter of extreme urgency, choose not to start straight away and instead goes home to his wife to complain about the fact that she didn't buy crackers. The film shifts between ridiculous domestic conversations and the ever-dripping murderous lunk biting, punching and decapitating his way through a highly-populated woodland area. Fans of drive-in exploitation will lap it up, and it at least moves at a fast pace, but The Incredible Melting Man is a half-baked idea thrown together without any consideration, redeemed somewhat by its wonderfully gruesome effects.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

Richard Schalij This film is a sad commentary on man's vanity and unslaked need for supportive professional relationships. Well, not really, it's actually a schlocky, campy, and very odd "horror movie". No it's never scary except for maybe the fact that it tries to be an actual horror film/friendship lost and regained drama lol, but misses the mark so horribly. It does however move along fairly well and kept me watching due to it's accidentally amusing nature. Burr DeBenning does an okay job as the protagonist, but what a silly script he had to work with, dialogue that's often unwittingly funny, or just lousy. A good example is the kitchen scene when Dr. Ted phlegmatically announces that his supposedly valued friend and colleague Steve escaped and is "just a little bit" radioactive,lol, but the Dr. is inexplicably more concerned about his wife going to the store for crackers.SPOILER ALERT: I loved the mother-in law and her boyfriend in the '66 Impala, for a moment I though I was watching a John Waters film, but alas they had to be eaten alive by Steve for cellular sustenance.Rick Baker's proved talent was wasted on this one, and this is not his best work by far.
