This one does have me stumped, and apparently everyone else too. The guesses so far aren't even close.

The CLUES: 1. The movie was from the late fifties or early sixites...NOT the seventies or eighties. Saw the movie as a drive-in double feature -- along with Giant Behemoth -- back that far. Unless it was also a time machine, it was long before those other movies.

2. Easter Island-like statues coming to life. That's a pretty specific image; one either remembers it or no. And the statues melting in water chasing the stars is pretty specific as well.

Here's hoping someone out there may have seen this movie, or reference to it, and can help.
