The Incredible Melting Man (1977)

How bad is it? It's a barely acceptable horror flick.
Should you see it? If you're a fan of Rick Baker.

There are films made for one special effect. Maniac (1980) was created solely for Tom Savini to show a plastic head - modeled on his own - filled with condoms filled with blood to explode. [Now I don't have to review that!]

An astronaut returns to Earth with two problems: 1) His skin is melting and 2) He's now a cannibal. Everyone says this film is worth seeing for Rick Baker's special effects, but I'm not impressed; the one eye looks like it came from "Killers From Space" - which I will review soon - and the rest is just glop poured over an actor's head. The rest of the plot is immaterial.
