An over worked NASA scientist, who appears to have crab up his ass which won't go away, takes a vacation in Japan by the advisement of a colleague. But instead of relaxing he decides to carry out experiments on a Venus Flytrap, which he somehow managed to smuggle in to the country, to prove that humans evolved from plants. He resides in a secluded old house with his colleagues daughter and the hunchbacked housekeeper and begins with crossing the flytrap with a seaplant which somehow manages to make it grow and take the form of a human. His last act is cross it with human blood which he obtains from a sanitarium which seemed to appear from no where.
The Revenge of Doctor X was a US-Japanese co-production that was allegedly written by none other then Edward D Wood Jr. The original title of the film was The Venus Flytrap, but Revenge is the more common title. Confusing because the X seems inexplanatory and theres actually no revenge of anything. The film is badly made and always over the top throughout. The doctor can't seem to go five minutes without bursting into fits of rage and moments towards the end just seem to get more and more nonsensical. For example why does the doctor go all the way to a sanitarium to get human blood, doesn't he have his own?
The Revenge of Doctor X is just pure silliness from beginning to end, any fan of bad movies will love this. This film is bad bad bad bad baaaad. And of course any fan of Ed Wood should certainly check this out [note: apparently the opening credits are completely wrong which explains why Ed isn't listed as writer]. The movie can be downloaded for free, and legally, via torrent from Public Domain Torrents.
