Since I was a child watching B&W sci-fi and monster movies on Saturday afternoons I have been enthralled with these films. Partly because they remind me of my childhood and much simplier and happier times. This movie embodies that memory. It is one of, if not thee most basic of horror movies from the era. A gila monster is filmed close up and footage of it is spliced into the rest of the film about teenagers and fast cars. It is INCREDIBLY hokie and just a "bad" movie in every respect....but.... therein lies my fascination with it and other films of it's kind. You have to be a hard core lover of badly written, filmed and acted 50s sci-fi and horror to even begin to appreciate what this flick has to offer. Also... for the last 10 to 15 minutes of the movie the soundtrack is slightly out of synch with the video.Read full review
What is interesting about this movie is that I am in it and do some acting ( small part ) BUT my Old 1952 Chevy Red and White is in the movie also. It was very interesting to watch how a movie comes together. I did all of the driving with my car and when the Director yelled cut I got out of the car and an actor got in and when he yelled Action the actor gets out like he drove my car I LOVED IT !! This was one of the things on mt Bucket List as they say. having my car in a movie. they Movie Company did a very great job making this movie. It was a remake of the old 1959 Movie shot at the same town and location. They even found the teenager who sang a song to his girl friend in the 1959 movie In the new oe he played the part as the Sheriff. Great Job
The movie was not digitally remastered and poor picture.
