"The Cyclops" (1957)
Plot: IMDB
Susan Winter undertakes an expedition to a remote area of Mexico, hoping to find her fiance, Bruce Barton, whos plane-crashed there some time ago. The area is suspected to have a good supply of uranium, so Susan has promoted this to wealthy Martin Melville to get money for her expenses. In addition to Melville, she is accompanied by guide Russ Bradford and pilot Lee Brand in his small-engine craft. But the plane crashes, stranding the four in an isolated valley, which they soon discover is highly radioactive and inhabited by mutated life forms - giant insects, enormous lizards, and a 25-foot-tall human male with a deformed face, just one eye, and only brute animal instincts to feed and protect its turf...
Phantom's Review: Terrible acting ! Lousy FX! It can mean only one thing ! Another Bert I Gordon Classic! One of Gordon's earliest efforts at the "Giant Monster Genre". While not as "good" as later films like "The Amazing Colossal Man" or "Earth vs The Spider" this is still lots of cheesy fun. Sit back, leave your brain at the door and have fun.
