The Cyclops (1957)


Allied Artists
Directed by Bert I. Gordon
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Mr. BIG, Bert I. Gordon, strikes again with one of his patented big monster movies from the 50s. Here, a group of people led by Gloria Talbott fly to a remote Mexican mountain range in search of her missing fiance. Instead, they find giant animals roaming around. They stumble onto a cave where a giant human mutant with one eye torments them. Could it by her boyfriend?! The effects are laughable, ruined by a "ghosting" effect that lets the background leak through any dark area on the screen. Still, in the right frame of mind this is one of those "so bad it's good" movies.
