Godmonster of Indian Flats

Godmonster of Indian Flats is a 1973 American exploitation[1] Western horror film written and directed by Fredric Hobbs, and starring Christopher Brooks, E. Kerrigan Prescott, Karen Ingenthron and Stuart Lancaster.

[4] In an old mine outside of Reno, Nevada, a local rancher named Eddie discovers a large mutated sheep embryo.

Meanwhile, in town, a wealthy East Coast Black man named Barnstable attempts to purchase some real estate for mining development on behalf of his employer Rupert Reich.

Mayor Silverdale frames Barnstable for killing a dog (which was actually sent to a nephew in Albuquerque) and gathers a crowd which attempts to lynch him.

The monster escapes from Clemens' lab, and starts wandering the area, where it frightens several children, scares the local population, and causes a man to blow up his own gas station.

Others have noted the film for being a well written, interesting look on race relations in the western United States in the 1970s, in addition to its fun, B-movie horror elements.

"[10] Annalee Newitz of Gizmodo, however, called it "a terrific and obscure entry in the pollution mutant genre" and noted that:[14] "Like Alligator, this is good political satire masquerading as a cheesy monster movie, and it well please you by succeeding at being both smart and gooftastic"A 35mm print of Godmonster has been archived by the American Genre Film Archive, who scanned the print and released the film in 4K on Blu-ray disc in 2018.
