    During the late 1970s, my family's weekly "Movie Night Dates" included a stream of back-to-back motion picture releases, ranging from musicals like "Grease" and "Thank God It's Friday", to horror epics like "Carrie" and the cinematic opus under review here: The Incredible Melting Man. I can remember standing in the lobby of the Chicago Theater (it was still a movie house then) as my mother, my brother and I were there to see Carrie, and beholding the poster for The Incredible Melting Man. It gave me the groovy weebie-jeebies, and almost immediately, I'd asked my mother if we could 'come back and see that one next week?!', to which my mama (God love her) replied: 'Yes!' We did return to the show the following week to see The Incredible Melting Man, and it was creepy good. It freaked me completely out! I'm giving it only four stars due to a rather slow start ... A rather slow science fiction start. God, sci-fi films were so friggin' slow (and boring) during the 70s, it seemed. And though The Incredible Melting Man eventually drew me to the edge of my theater seat, it set up too slowly for my taste. Therefore, four stars. I would still recommend this cult classic, though, to any sci-fi horror fan.
