Zaat (1971)
Is the monster man… fish… or devil?
Zaat (also known as Blood Waters of Dr. Z, Hydra, and Attack of the Swamp Creatures) is a 1971 American science fiction–horror film written, produced, and directed by Don Barton.
Critical reception for Zaat has been predominantly negative, with criticism directed at the film’s script, acting, and poor monster design. It has been cited as one of the worst films ever made. It gained significant exposure when it was used in an episode of movie-mocking television series Mystery Science Theater 3000 in May 1999.
