"Earth vs The Spider" (1958)

Plot: IMDB
When a man doesn't come home one night his daughter and her boyfriend go out searching and encounter a giant spider in a cave near the man's wrecked car. Coming back with the Sheriff, the spider is seemingly killed by DDT spraying, and the body then hauled for storage in the high school gymnasium. However, a loud dose of rock music by a teenage garage band revives the arachnid and sends it rampaging through the town.

Phantom's Review: Another Bert I. Gordon classic. Simple plot, cheesy FX, and barely there acting......in other words..IT"S GREAT!!
Lord, how I love these 1950's giant monster movies.

On an isolated island, a small group of people are terrorized by giant voracious shrews in the midst of a hurricane.

Phantom's Review: A.K.A....Dogs In Wigs.
Hysterically funny, low budget monster movie.
Bad FX, over acting and a barely there plot..in other words..IT"S GREAT!!
If you love those silly 1950's movies( like I do) this one is for you

Have watched Earth Vs The Spider and The Killer Shrews recently. Fun movies to watch!

Also have watched Roger Corman's Triple set recently released: Attack Of The Crab Monsters, Not Of This Earth & War Of The Satellites.

Certainly not Academy Award material but still entertaining and enjoyable.

"Frankenstein" (1931)

There is absolutely nothing I can say about this film , that has not been said already.
So I'll use the one word that describes it best...classic.

The Fallen Idol (1948)



A very beautiful suspense drama from Carol Reed with excellent cinematography and screenplay. Just gave it a watch after reading it about on Totalfilm.com's list of 20 Awesome Obscure Movies.
