Movie Reviews of Die, Monster, Die!
Movie Review: Die monster.........die
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this movie a few months ago and It has become one of my top favorite films. Boris Karloff Is just as good as when He played the much Different role of Frankenstein. Karloff never really disappoints In any of his movies and Even though much people don't seem to like Nick Adams alot He actually Does a very good job In this movie. Must we forget how Brandos carreer crapped out for a while but He got It back with the godfather? If Adams didn't die so early He could have been the same. A couple missing things In the film but that's not on the actors account, The script needed a little more meat especially about Corbin Whitley and the past, and what and why the rock turned people Into creatures. Besides that this movie Is a B-Horror Classic and just a classic In general
Summary of Die, Monster, Die!
American International Pictures production designer Daniel Haller donned the director's jodhpurs for the studio's second attempt at bringing horror master H.P. Lovecraft to drive-in audiences. The script, adapted from the author's favorite story, "The Colour Out of Space," by science fiction scribe Jerry Sohl (who later adapted another AIP/Lovecraft film, The Curse of the Crimson Altar), moves the location from rural New England to present-day Great Britain, where American Stephen Reinhart (Nick Adams) is visiting the ancestral home of his fiancée (Suzan Farmer from Dracula, Prince of Darkness). The girl's father (Boris Karloff) demands his departure, warning of a curse by his warlock ancestor. Said curse is actually a radioactive meteor, which mutates not only the local flora and fauna (the "zoo from hell" sequence, where Adams and Farmer encounter monstrous creatures in a greenhouse, is a campy/creepy highlight), but Farmer's mother (Freda Jackson), and eventually Karloff, who becomes a glowing zombie before the house burns in typical AIP fashion. Like the studio's previous effort, Roger Corman's The Haunted Palace, the picture is Lovecraft-lite, toning down the story's sense of unearthly horror in favor of standard-issue spook-show shenanigans. But Karloff's presence, though infirm, lends to the adequately chilly atmosphere, as does Haller's eye for dark-and-dreary art direction. Haller later directed another uneven Lovecraft film, The Dunwich Horror. MGM's full-screen VHS (and widescreen DVD) print has aged gracefully, with only minor surface damage. --Paul GaitaSimilar DVD Movies
