Movie Reviews of Die, Monster, Die!
Movie Review: Get That Healthy, Green Glow...
Summary: 3 Stars
Some day, a genius like Peter Jackson will take the works of H. P. Lovecraft and make an incredible series of slithering fun. Until then, we've got movies like DIE MONSTER DIE! to give us some minor shivers. Nick Adams plays a man summoned to the Whitley estate by a rotting Freda Jackson, in order to save her daughter Susan (Suzan Farmer) from the family curse. It turns out that dad (Boris Karloff) has been using a radioactive meteorite to mutate animals and grow fifty-pound tomatoes in the greenhouse! His butler keels over dead from radiation sickness and the adventure begins. I like DMD with all of it's goofiness and pretention. Should be seen as a double feature with THE DUNWICH HORROR. Check it out...Movie Review: Ok AIP Horror
Summary: 3 Stars
"Die, Monster, Die" is passable stuff for horror fans, with good atmosphere, photography, and art direction, and of course the presence of Karloff; but plotwise it's a bit of a tangle, a hackneyed adaptation of Lovecraft's 'The Color Out of Space' that loses the flavor of the story in trying to adapt it to the conventions of the Price/Corman/Poe films. Unique source material is, unfortunately, boiled down to a series of cliches. But for dedicated horror fans, they're good cliches.Movie Review: Another Waste of Karloff's Talent
Summary: 2 Stars
Boris Karloff's sinister presence cannot save this disappointing H.P. Lovecraft adaptation. "Die, Monster, Die!" plods along until its effective climax, with mad scientist Boris disintegrating in classic fashion. The AIP production is somewhat reminiscent of Karloff's 1936 sci-fi thriller "The Invisible Ray." Though he was determined to keep working, the aging horror icon should have been more selective in his choice of projects.Movie Review: KARLOFF AND CREEPY ATMOSPHERE CAN'T SAVE THIS TALKY "THRILLER"!
Summary: 2 Stars
I caught this one on of my HD channels and the film presented in widescreen looked really good. Karloff gives us another grand performance in this atmospheric, but slow moving, talky film. The story is interesting, but it just bored me halfway through. If a film can't hold my attention for a little over an hour.......there is something wrong. Check it out on cable before buying this one.
