Whatever any of us may think of this film, at least these guys took the initiative, reached deep into their own pockets, put their money where their mouths are, and MADE A FILM. That to me is worth four stars right there. Tor is worth one by himself, so that makes for five stars. Huzzah! :)

Mildly amusing and possibly coma-inducing, The Beast from Yucca Flats takes a different approach to exploiting Cold War fears. Instead of feeding the viewer's imagination with the fantastic, it provides a bitter commentary via tersely phrased voice-over to an event pointedly depicted as mundane. And boy, does it do this poorly.

I downloaded the mpeg2 file. Video quality was adequate, and the audio was fine.
