BLACK SCORPION (1957) - It's an ok stop motion giant scorpion movie. Scorpions come from the earth in a remote part of Mexico and attacks Mexico City. The scorpions are the result of some volcanic activity and in the film they show you some real footage of people around a real Mexican volcano eruption. The best parts of the film was when the scorpions attack a train and the masses in the city running from the creatures.
THE SLIME PEOPLE(1963) - It's a film about some creatures that arrive with the fog. They resemble a poor version of
PREDITOR only within the fog. It also felt like
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. This film could have been better and I really didn't enjoy the style of the film. Here's Andrews review for
The Slime People.
THE CRAWLING HAND (1963) - Always wanted to see this one. The film drags alot, but has a couple decent moments. Astronaut comes back to earth, but is taken over by radiation or something that causes him to want to kill. The astronauts ship is destroyed by mission control to prevent his suffering. Part of his arm and hand land on the beach and a teenager finds it and takes it home. The hand starts killing people while also taken over the teenager. The film was produced by the same company as the
THE SLIME PEOPLE. Again I didn't appreciate the style of movie making of eithier film. There are better B-movies.
Rented all 3 from Netfix recently.
