(1962 aka THE INVISIBLE HORROR) Lex Barker, Karin Dor, Wolfgang Preiss. This could very well be the best of the German Mabuse films of the '60's. Our maniacal doctor is plotting against humanity once again,

(1957, Upgraded, 4/29/24) Ryuji Shinagawa, Shozo Southern, Junko Kano, Tsurumi Joji. What a cool movie! A series of ghastly murders is being committed. The one similarity in each of the murders is that a weird buzzing sound...

(1983) Pip Donaghy, David Gwillim, Lila Kaye, Ron Pember, Merelina Kendall.  This six-part, two-disc mini-series is a vivid retelling of the classic H. G. Wells story and probably comes the closest to the Wells original than any other screen version.  Donaghy is superb as Griffin, the man destined to go mad because of his own fantastic discovery...

(1949) Chizuru Kitagawa, Takiko Muzunoei, Ryunosuke Tsukigata, Tsuyoshi Sugiyama.  A scientist uses a strange formula to become invisible.  The formula has an adverse effect on his mind.  Thrown into the mix are jewel thieves who want the formula to help them steal a priceless diamond.  The invisibility special effects are excellent...

 (1970) Enver Özer, Feri Cansel, Süleyman Turan, Orçun Alkan, Altan Günbay.  A wonderfully awful, grade-Z Turkish superhero film, whose badness is so enticing you’ll find yourself watching it all the way through in one sitting—and you’ll be amazed at yourself for doing it...

(1966, Upgraded 12/30/20) Peter Cushing, Edward Judd, Carole Gray, Eddie Byrne, directed by Terrence Fisher. Things go terribly wrong in an isolated island research lab and a new breed of bone-devouring monsters are created. The island is cut off from the mainland, and it's only a matter of time before the creatures...

(1979) Claudio Cassinelli, Richard Johnson, Barbara Bach, Joseph Cotten. This is a seriously cool sci-fi horror film. A prison ship goes down in the Caribbean. The survivors make shore on a nearby where a madman and a deranged scientist have been changing natives into fish-like monsters...

(1961 aka L'ATLANTIDE aka THE LOST KINGDOM) Haya Harareet, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Georges Riviere, James Westmoreland (as Rad Fulton).  This was the next to last film by cult director, Edgar G. Ulmer.  This sci-fi fantasy concerns lost aviators who find the entrance to Atlantis at a nuclear blast site in the desert.  They face many perils and find themselves pitted against an evil Queen, played with a pronounced sexual aura...

(1959) Rushdi Abazah, Edmond Tuima. What you’ve got here is all you’d expect in a B&W ‘50s sci-fi film, similar to Missile to the Moon.  You’ve got a scientist who’s built a moon rocket.  He shoots off toward the moon with two stowaways.  There's a big spaceship and a cool robot.  They land on the moon and find a strange race of beautiful women.  After many horrifying and dangerous situations, they launch back toward Earth...

KILINK IN ISTANBUL (1967) Irfan Atasoy, Pervin Par, Suzan Avci, Muzaffer Tema.  Kilink is this sinister villain in a weird skeleton suit.  He’s brought back from the dead at the beginning of the movie so he can search for a secret formula that will allow him to basically destroy the world and rule over the tatters that are left behind...  

(1959, Upgraded 12/30/20) James Best, Ingrid Goude, Gordon McLendon, Ken Curtis, Baruch Lumet. "And the shrew devours everything. Flesh, bones, marrow...everything." This movie is what low budget, 50's sci-fi was supposed to be all about. Research scientists develop a breed of giant, carnivorous shrews that terrorize a group of people on a small, remote island off the coast of Texas. Things get really hairy when the monsters...

(1954) Peter Graves, James Seay, Barbara Bestar, Steve Pendleton, John Frederick. We all saw this a million times on TV when we were kids. Graves is a scientist captured by invaders from outer space who are dug in inside a massive cavern with a complex set of caves. The ping pong ball eyed-aliens have hatched a horrible plan against Earth. Graves tries to escape but...

(1968, aka KONG ISLAND) Brad Harris, Marc Lawrence, Esmeralda Barros, Adriana Alben, Mark Farran.  A group of mad scientists journeys to Kong Island where they implant receptors into the brains of the local gorilla citizenry.  They plan to control the world with an army of Kongs!
