X From Outer Space, The |

|
a.k.a. Big Space Monster Guilala
Japan, 1967 |
||
|
Starring Toshiya Wazaki, Peggy Neal. Directed by Kazui Nihonmatsu. Energy-absorbing monster kicks the crap out of Japan. Gee, never seen that movie before! The main differences here are the ultra-serious group of scientists and space pilots rushing to save the day, complete with soap-opera love triangle which we are (apparently) supposed to take seriously. '60s pop-lounge feel will put you in mind of Godzilla vs. Gigan, and the script isn't much better. |

X the Unknown |

United Kingdom, 1956

|
Starring Dean Jagger, Edward Chapman. Directed by Leslie Norman. A giant blob of radioactive mud menaces a British military base. Very creepy, and very gory for the time. This movie feels like a Quatermass film, though it isn't. |
