| User ReviewTreefrog TIf you see only one movie about killer trees, then make it this one. (Yes! There are others!) Anyway, this poverty row movie gets points alone for the audacity in which they make the scenario a creepy mystery film. But since the culprit is a bunch of styrofoam trees, the movie is alternately a surreal delight-- a postmodern study of cinematic artifice, as former big-name stars stumble through the cardboard sets wondering what the how they could have gotten to this. This film is more apocalyptic than we can imagine. |
| User ReviewMichael TDecent eco-horror-flic of 1966 Scientific expedition in antarctica brings back plants found under the south pole to remote naval base island. Plants wake up and attack soldiers, scientists, women, a dog, birds and the power generator. Some penguins die a horrible death too. Cheesy and feels older than 1966, but still good eco-horror fun |
| User ReviewPatrick DMostly a snore, but a great curiosity. I bought this film in VHS format in a sketchy second hand video and electric shop on Bank St. The cover only had Mamie Van Doren on it and therefore led me to believe she'd be featured more. She's not. The print was transfers from horribly used reels, but it gave it that old look (super old). The one thing that makes this worth watching is -and a SPOILER this is so beware- Killer Trees!!!! That's right that's the night monsters. They even have an explanation for it. Brilliant. |
| User ReviewShawn WDated picture about an expedition from Anatarctica yields a new plant that roams around and devours those at an island US naval base. Conclusion ties up all loose ends in a very tidy manner. |
| User ReviewTrent RNot terrible enough to be hilarious, but has its moments. Many more fail while intending to be humorous, and Van Doren is not featured as well as advertised. There are some decent bits of pseudoscientific mumbo-jumbo and tree `splosions - but you're better off watching Treevenge or From Hell It Came. |
| User ReviewMichael WIf you like Ed Wood, You'll love this attack of the killer trees movie. Bad script, bad acting, cheesy special effects. I just wasn't in the mood. |
