Featured review
Decent Idea
Time Monsters, The (1959)
** (out of 4)
An interesting idea about a kid watching a television, which allows him to see into the past. This time out he's able to view back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth and did battle against one another as well as a giant gorilla. This amateur film from Glut isn't as entertaining as some of his previous efforts but there's still quite a bit to admire here. For starters, I really enjoyed all the monsters and I'm thinking that they were made out of some sort of clay. Stop motion is used for the effects but I really enjoyed the large gorilla, which was clearly influenced by KING KONG. I thought the dinosaur fights were a lot of fun as was the volcano eruption and the red lava that flows. At just under 6-minutes the film does go on a tad bit too long but fans of monster movies will still want to give this one a view (as well as Glut's other movies).
