Blending the pomposity of Beverly Hills 90210 with a David Cronenberg-style warped imagination, the movie failed to find its audience at the box office but has since gained a cult following amongst splatter fans.

Bill Whitney feels out of place. Alienated by his life in Beverly Hills and jealous of his parents’ adoration for his popular sister (Patrice Jennings), Bill is convinced that he is adopted. But his worst fears come true when his sister’s ex-boyfriend David Blanchard (Tim Bartell) shows him a video tape what reveals the ugly truth of everyone he knows, he soon realizes that there is no escape.

Following in the footsteps of Dick Smith, Baker produced an array of grizzly and groundbreaking monsters and splatter set pieces, often giving credibility to otherwise ludicrous or mediocre offerings. William Sachs (who later shot the extremely camp Galaxina) gave us such a movie with 1977’s The Incredible Melting Man, a film so bad that somehow it becomes a guilty pleasure.

An astronaut returns to Earth after a mission to Saturn results in his entire crew being killed by radiation. Kept in quarantine by the military due to his body slowly deteriorating, he eventually escapes into the woods and begins to feed off his victims in an effort to slow down the process, whilst a manhunt is launched to capture him before he kills again. Distributed by American International Pictures, The Incredible Melting Man was a minor success on its initial release and later became a cult classic on home video.
