This is known for it’s well done special effects, feature some very big versions of regular everyday things, specially made for the movie. It all starts with Grant Williams in the main role confronts a strange cloud which stays with him until things such as cats pose a very big problem for him.
Also well known as Curse Of the demon (don’t be fooled, their both the same film). This is a British made film based on the short story entitled “Casting the Runes”, which was penned by M.R. James. A change from the alien and monster movie, this is a supernatural thriller surround a devil cult who is being watched by a psychic, who I turn fins something quite different hen what he was suspecting.
This time a spaceship which was sent to Venus brings back a ape type creature, which grows at a rapid rate. As with many of the other great films of the 1950’s Ray Harryhausen once again did the stop motion animation for this movie. Back then stop motion was like the computer generated effects of today. You could say the end scenes of the movie also pay as a homage to King Kong.
