Body of the Prey

Venus Flytrap (filmed 1966, released 1970) is an American horror film shot partly in Japan. The plot features a mad scientist who uses thunder and lightning to turn carnivorous plants into man-eating creatures. It is known variously as Body of the Prey, The Revenge of Doctor X (American video title), and The Revenge of Dr. X (American video box title). Although the film is based on a 1950s screenplay by Ed Wood, he remained uncredited. The film was directed by Kenneth Crane, who also directed the famed 1961 Japanese horror film, The Manster. Confusingly, the American video release erroneously features the major credits for 1969 Philippines production The Mad Doctor of Blood Island. The Cinema Insomnia episode featuring this film premiered on October 31, 2011.
