A different kind of bad--the kind that's not terribly painful to watch.
All in all there's a lot of value to be found here, and despite the film's shortcomings, it is without question worth a look.
You have to admit, The Fallen Ones is good old fashioned goofy cheddar cheesiness.
...nothing can quite prepare us for a sequence late in the film that finds Robert Wagner engaged in a fist-fight with a mummy.
