Movie Reviews of Four Sided Triangle/X The Unknown

Movie Review: A Mad Scientist And A Radiation Sucking Blob (Two Compelling Science Fiction Horror Classics From Hammer Studios)
Summary: 5 Stars

Kudos to Anchor Bay Entertainment for restoring these two black and white classic science fiction horror films from Hammer. Both have audio and video that are sharp and pristine. They are presented in full frame which is how they must have appeared in the theatres because the credits are not chopped off. Both have exclusive "World of Hammer" episodes but I never watch them because they contain too many plot spoilers. Only "X the Unknown" has a theatrical trailer.

"Four Sided Triangle" is a modern Frankenstein type film. Two geeky scientists create a reproducer that can duplicate anything that is mineral, vegetable or animal. One of them, Robin, has a beautiful girlfriend, Lena. Bill becomes exceedingly jealous when Robin and Lena are married. Lena allows Bill to use her to create a duplicate. As always, there are tragic consequences whenever men play God.

"X The Unknown" is similar to "The Blob." Instead of blood, the creature in "X The Unknown" must feed on radiation. It will destroy anyone who crosses its path. At first, it gives it victims severe radiation burns that eventually kill them. As it feeds on radiation, it continues to grow bigger and stronger until it is literally melting the flesh off its victims. Can an atomic scientist, Dr. Royston (Dean Jagger), stop it before it destroys all of mankind?

"X The Unknown" is definitely the more terrifying of the two features. It contains more carnage and mayhem as the blob-like creature menaces an entire village. It is very much along the vein of the famous Quatermass series: "Quatermass Xperiment," "Quatermass 2" and "Quatermass and the Pit." I bought this double feature primarily for "X The Unknown" and considered "Four Sided Triangle" a bonus film which contains less horror and more romance. This package is highly recommended for fans of Hammer films.
