Hello everyone, The Vern here and today I am communicating with you through the wonderful world of the written word. I usually talk to you on the podcast but today I'm going to speak to you in this article. There are a bunch of movies that I saw last month, and here are my quick thoughts on them. Majority of them are available on Hulu
The Batman
Giant From The Unknown
Cast: Ed Kemmer, Sally Frasser, Morris Ankrum
Writers: Frank Hart Taussig, Ralph Brook
Director: Richard E Cunha
Giant from the Unknown is a very schlocky B horror movie made with love and devotion that I can’t really get mad about the outcome of it, despite its flaws. The premise of a Spanish warrior whose body gets revived and now seeks revenge thanks to an Indian tribal curse is something we have seen before. It was used as plot points in the horror classics Poltergeist, The Shining and many more. What I appreciate most about this movie is that at the time of release. Westerns were still a big thing and a lot of those shows had the Native Americans focused as the bad guys. So to have this movie say to American audiences at that time that these are consequences for stealing the land of people who were here first is a kind of a bold move.
The Vern returns to talk about a few new and a slew of classic movies he saw on the big screen.
