I'm going to give this a try again. Hopefully I can make it through this time. I can't believe that the first episode was released in early Sept. I thought it was Oct. when I saw this. Guess it was an early Samhain for me.

The first "Monster of the week" episode. Doug Hutchenson with Kick Green eye lenses (well...Green on our TV screen). For the life of me, I always thought this was the 4th or 5th episode in for some reason. The monologue from Det. Briggs really puts the edge on this tale.

Director: Daniel Sackheim | Stars: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Carrie Snodgress, Michael Cavanaugh
Votes: 6,915
This felt like a weak episode. I know they were trying to convey how far Mulder was willing to go stop the same situation that happened to him, happen to anyone else, but I felt that they could do a bit more for that angle. Add a bit more suspense.

Paul Naschy's doomed warlock Alaric de Marnac makes his first appearance. The film could have been better though. It felt like short films put together.
46. The Dungeon of Harrow (1962)

An evil, sadistic count lives in a waterfront castle with his insane family members. One day the survivor of a shipwreck washes ashore near the castle and finds himself a captive there.
Director: Pat Boyette | Stars: Russ Harvey, Helen Hogan, William McNulty, Michele Buquor
Votes: 631
Pat Boyette's attempt at making a horror movie is greatly hindered by actors who just show up on screen and deliver lines of a complex nature in a real monotone voice to the point that the other two actors who trying to act with the monotones simply bounce off of them like a ball bouncing off a wall. It was so sad that I turned it off midway. Rather to leave the protagonist on the bloody island then have him escape to infect the colonies with severe boredom.

The most quietest alien invasion movie I've ever seen. Character development was great, but it seemed the aliens were in the background.

And we start the second season with a nice lil episode that wraps the mythos up and serves it as a reminder of what it's about so far. Claustrophobic and creepy, it hits the right points home.

The film is alright. It's kinda hard watching 20 year olds act like adolescents. It also doesn't help that Sam Katzman was producing this. You can just smell his cost cutting effects.

It had an idea that wanted to go somewhere, but it didn't due to really bad acting and a director and writer who didn't want to take an kind of risk.

This is the first adaptation of Donovan's Brain. It moves well in the beginning but trails at the end, not knowing what it wants to do with the characters once the goals are already met. It's a good movie to have as a sort of goal post of 50's sci fi.

Bud Cordos and the Bands take on time vortexes add up to nothing more then a bunch of lights, mattes and stop motion figurines. The time part gets explained much later. Like five minutes left of the film later.
In short, and effects film that forgot to tell a story.
