Yes, it's a fine film. The concept is still plausible and it's convincingly done, the cast are all excellent and the effects still stand out. Terrific.

Indeed, and they still hold up really well today. Splendid stuff!

It's great isn't it, on paper it sounds pretty dull but everything comes so nicely together it's surprisingly effective.

And I meant to add, excellent choice of still there, thanks! 😱

It's fantastic isn't it, and I think the effects still hold up pretty well. For me the concept of a meteor or bit of space rock reacting in our atmosphere was more credible than an alien invasion, it terrified me as a kid! Great cast too, a neglected '50s gem.

That rare beast. An intelligent 50s scifi with a credible concept, feasible threat and excellent effects. Who knew rocks were so thrilling. 1957.

It really does, and we really do! 😊

Wood was never one for detail...

I might have to buy the Blu Ray now...!

That would make an interesting theme, and just shows that you're a collector who also has a life. Me, on the other hand... 😆

I don't seem to get Rewind channel, but if that's the 1965 film written by Ed Wood then no, I don't own it. Or at least I wouldn't admit it if I did..😆

You have admirable willpower, the seal didn't last too long here...

He's definitely worth getting to know...😱

Perhaps not, I'm very predictable. One day I'll surprise you by not owning a copy of something 😂

Don't know the film but that's a glorious poster!

One of my favourite Franco films, I have that very same edition....

👋☕️

And naturally it's on my shelf... 😁

That's kind of part of the series (the quadrilogy?) but Amicus had ceased to exist by the time Warlords was made, same director again but it was an EMI Films Production.

A childhood without those late night horrors is unthinkable! What would I talk about here? 😄 Horror Express was one of my late night 70s TV favourites too, and it still ranks as one of my favourite horror films. Think it might be due for a rerun here soon!

You know, I'd never have put those two together but now you mention it...

That was made the following year, the last of the Amicus Edgar Rice Burroughs trilogy that began with Land That Time Forgot. Obviously taking their toll on Doug then!

And he's absolutely wonderful as the bonkers old scientist, so much fun 😊

It's great. If you don't mind the low budget 70s British aesthetic it's a really underrated film. And Gough is terrifically nasty!

He really does, as he did everything of course. It reminds me of his famous line of 'Monster? We're British you know!' from Horror Express in '72.

Me too, I was a teenager when it was released and I saw it several times at the cinema. Happy days.

So much fun, and it beats the pants off CGI overload anyday!

Sadly I've never had the drive-in experience, they didn't really take off over here. And if you mean 'At The Earths Core' with McClure, I've actually just posted that one!

I just love the way Cushing delivers that line, such conviction! I clearly recall the teenage me at the cinema when it was released, popcorn in hand and eyes wide in wonder. Fantastic entertainment.

Fantastic aren't they, pure magic.
