Review

Sci-fi fans will be delighted with this film. Our main character, portrayed by James Craig, is a scientist with a rather bizarre fascination with carnivorous plants. He brings a Venus Fly Trap plant along with him on vacation to Japan. Once there he proceeds to cross breed it in an effort to prove a theory that man evolved from marine life.

Eventually he ends up with a final result of a fly plant that contains rather large paws. (Reviewers note - We don't have anything like this on my home planet.) The plant possesses the ability to walk around and leaves a path of destruction in its wake.

I'm not sure why it has to be that way, but the main character is being assisted by a beautiful Japanese woman. There is plenty of excitement and adventure to enjoy as the story moves along, including a volcanic eruption and a landslide. The cinematography is quite interesting; although it should be noted that the film was not actually filmed in Japan but rather the Philippines.

Ed Wood, who scripted the film, did a phenomenal job with this one. If you’re an Ed Wood fan, this is a must see film. With excellent direction by Kenneth Crane, this film will be a sure fire hit with you.

Review

The year is 2020 and the cosmonaut Marcia is orbiting the planet Venus while two astronauts and a robot begin a journey on the surface of the planet. The group is attacked by prehistoric beasts and lose their robot in the process. Soon they nearly lose their lives after a volcano erupts and engulfs the planet.

During their journey they continue to face many unforeseen challenges including possible intelligent beings and a wide diversity of life forms. They proceed to brave the harsh elements of the planet that turns out to be quite unstable. They confront many challenges while attempting to survive the unbreathable atmosphere and the dangerous creatures they come across.

This is a rare gem of a low-budget film produced a few years ago. One of several clever aspects about the film is the truly ingenious use of visual effects. It also incorporates several inventive technological ideas and even eerie atmospherics. Film history and sci-fi buffs alike will thoroughly enjoy this clever masterpiece.

Where other films of this genre fail, this film delivers a solid performance. The robot, in particular, is quite impressive and very well designed (Reviewer aside - we have better stuff on my home planet), along with the appearance of a flying car that is nothing short of amazing considering the era of the film. A solid film, very entertaining, and worth seeing.

Review

Professor “Johnny Longbow” Salina acts as a matchmaker and introduces Paul Carlson to Kathy Nolan, who has a penchant for practical jokes. Paul, who is an amateur mineralogist, has been lonesome for some time and he immediately hits it off with Kathy. As their romance blossoms, the young couple decide to take a moonlight stroll. Just as things are getting romantic, Paul is struck by a meteorite fragment during a meteor storm.

The fragment buries itself deeply into his skull and begins to cause him to mutate into a large reptilian monster that goes on killing sprees after the sun goes down. As it turns out, this sort of thing has happened before. Professor Salina rediscovers some ancient Native American paintings that detail numerous similar events centuries ago.

Kathy still loves Paul and so she tries to save him. Time is of the essence as myths indicate that he will burn up within just a few days unless he is saved. Throughout much of the plot, Paul is unfortunately unaware that he is the monster. A defining moment arrives when the realization comes to him and there is a tender and emotional moment when both Paul and Kathy realize the truth and that he is destined to die soon.

The premise of the film is thoroughly enjoyable and outdoor scenes shot on location are mesmerizing. Adding to the suspense of the film is an excellent musical score that follows the characters throughout the plot.

Directed by Richard Ashe, this film is nothing short of sheer genius, especially considering that Ashe had a very small budget to work with. Special effects are of particul note. All in all, this is an engrossing film full of heart and interesting Indian folklore.

This movie was featured on "Mystery Science Theater 3000" in 1999.

Review

An extremely interesting and unusual film that should be included in the collection of any film collector. Robert Vaughn has a starring role as an investigator checking into a bus crash in which a number of important people are killed.

Eventually he discovers a camp of Nazis and is captured by them. His captors try to convince him that he never stumbled across the camp of Nazis. As it turns out, the purpose of the camp is to attempt to clone world leaders. Vaught finds help among the women of the camp, who assist him in fighting the Nazis.

If you're looking for an interesting film that is unlike anything else you've ever seen, this is definitely one that should not be missed. Numerous twists and turns throughout the plot will keep you firmly perched on the edge of your seat. This is a film that definitely does not disappoint in the least.

(Webmaster aside - This one was a little hard to classify, but the clone thing put it into the science fiction category by a hair.)
