War of the Colossal Beast (1958)


"The Amazing Colossal Man," believed dead after falling from the Hoover Dam, reemerges in rural Mexico, brain damaged, disfigured, and very hungry.

Quite risible sequel to The Amazing Colossal Man offers a silly plot, bad acting and abominable special effects, but entertainingly so.

Halliwell (no star): "Dull science fiction movie that runs out of ideas within the first five minutes, after which it tediously repeats not only itself but the movie to which it is a sequel. Originally, the last few minutes were in colour, though surviving prints appear to be monochrome."

Maltin*1/2: "Forget it."

Michael Weldon/Psychotronic: "Funnier than the original!"
