Monster from Green Hell (1957)


B&W sci-fi/monster flick about a rocket carrying a payload of wasps into space for an experiment, which malfunctions and veers off course and crashes in a remote area of Africa. Several of the wasps survive the crash and mutate due to being overexposed to cosmic radiation during the flight. They grow to an enormous size and begin to terrorize the wildlife and the local natives. The two scientists in charge of the space experiment, find out about reports of giant monsters wreaking havoc in central Africa, and decide to travel there to investigate.

This was one of those films that seems to drag on longer than the running time. It clocks in at 71 minutes, but it seemed to be twice as long as it actually was. Much of the film is spent showing the scientists and their entourage, trekking through the African bush, plains, and jungle, which just made the movie drag on.

Nothing says “low budget” like having a bunch of people walk around a lot. Still, I have a fondness for grade B 50’s sci-fi flicks featuring giant animals or insects, so I might view that one sometime.

How do you see most of these older movies you’ve been posting about, Psi-Fi? I know YouTube has a lot of these older movies.

Yes, I've been watching most of them on YouTube. Once in a while I'll come across one somewhere else, that isn't on YouTube, but usually I find them there.

The Underwater City (1962)


Sci-fi adventure into the world of "inner space" below the waves. An underwater "city" made up of several airtight structures, is constructed and anchored to the sea floor, to conduct an experiment to see if humans can live underwater in such an environment. The acting wasn't bad but the special effects were ridiculous and the story just plodded along without much of interest happening for the most part until the action picked up a bit during the last few minutes of the film.

Edge of Eternity (1959)


Late 1950's crime-thriller about a Deputy Sheriff in a small town, on the edge of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, trying to solve a mysterious murder in the town. The film had the look and feel of an Alfred Hitchcock movie from that era, which gave it a typical Hitchcock vibe, but he wasn't involved in the film as far as I know.

The Vampire Bat (1933)


Horror film about mysterious deaths occurring in a small European village. The victims are all found with two puncture marks on their necks and are drained of their blood. Rumors of vampires spread through the village while the local constable tries to find clues to solve the murders, which he suspects are the work of a homicidal lunatic. The plot has a couple of unexplained holes in it, which occur later in the film, but they don't ruin the film as far as horror flicks go.
