The Colossus of New York (1958)
“The Colossus of New York” has aged rather well. It still evokes the same strange fascination it had back in the late 1950s, when its story and title character startled me. It was evident back then that the film was…

Hillbillys in a Haunted House (1967)
For what it was, “Hillbillies” wasn’t really all that bad. By this I mean that it isn’t stultifyingly awful or technically incompetent like most of Jesse Franco’s output. It isn’t stupid and disgusting like Ted V. Mikels’ films. Yes, it’s…

This the direct sequel to Mad Doctor of Blood Island. Its the fourth (or third if you don’t count the unrelated Terror is a Man) in the Blood Island saga. Literally picking up hours after the first film, the film…
20 Million Miles to Earth (1957)
I think the best thing about this movie is that it’s fast-moving. The filmmakers don’t waste a lot of time with unnecessary dialog or a sappy romance. They get right to it and stay on track for almost all of…
