When it makes moral statements, the film is at its best, although that's not saying a whole lot. The dialog is simplistic.

Reviews for The Incredible Melting Man
This Z-grade effort, lacking any low-budget energy, takes its cue from the central character: it's tacky and bumbling and sinks into its own morass long before its subject finally dribbles apart, slurp, glub.
Each spring brings similar releases to fill the need of drive-in operators for something cheap to put on the screen for the kids in the cars to ignore or laugh at.
