When your movie is made just to be a double bill for a sequel to a successful film, you're at some point going to disappear from the consciousness of film lovers. That's exactly what THE ALLIGATOR PEOPLE is. A story of heartache, trying to find out the truth, and animal/human mutation. With a cast that includes legendary creature actor Lon Chaney, Jr , and more heart than it advertises, does this...

Legendary filmmakers always have a beginning. The place that made people realize that maybe "this person's got it." 1971's DUEL was that for Steven Spielberg. Based on the short story by award winning author Richard Matheson, DUEL showcases fast paced filmmaking and skills most 24 year directors just don't present on screen. It's what we would eventually see in the blockbusters Spielberg would rel...

When it comes to the history of everyone's favorite giant lizard, we can't forget about the film that helped inspire it. That film is 1953's THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS.

Burt I. Gordon was a savant when it came to giant animal attack movies, bringing live animals on a massive scale to the screen in ways not seen in Hollywood. In 1957 he directed the GIANT locust movie BEGINNING OF THE END with legendary actor Peter Graves, bringing forth what he could do in this genre. We look back at this now almost 70 year old movie wondering if it still brings the magic, or if...

With most of the original cast back for another adventure with the dead, was the magic that we once knew from acclaimed director Tim Burton back? Or was it a t...

In 1976, 2 giant gorilla movies hit the big screens. One being the giant ape we know and love KING KONG, and the other being one from a U.S./South Korean production called APE or A.P.E. or Big Horn...nevermind. With one having a high production value and some solid leading actors, this one was not that at all. But, the question is, was this a solid rip-off? Or does it belong in the "forget this ev...
