    If you go into this looking for H.P. Lovecraft inspired film, you may be disapointed.

    If you go into this looking for a fun/cheesy sci-fi/horror film, you are in for a treat!

    Sure the story is predictable and the special effects a bit cheesy, but there are some really great...( read more) sets/locations, creepy/cheesy atmosphere and Boris Karloff!

    There are also a few "atmospheric" shots (mostly landscapes) in the begining of the film that are actually quite amazing!

    This is one of the last movies Boris Karloff filmed before he died.

    Don't tell anyone, but I think it killed him.

    Two great people make an attempt to produce a good movie, Die Monster Die is based on a H.P. Lovecraft Story with the great Boris Karloff, as I said an attempt, but that attempted failed. It did have moments, but far and few. Don't think this ever was high on the chart. At best t...( read more)he 2nd feature at a Drive-in Movie. Some how Boreis got some Radioactive rocks down in the basement, with the psyidellic colors or the 70ties. These rocks wipe out the butler, and the housemaids face which is eaten away before us, which was pretty cool, biut other then that a sleeper. Cant give this one no more then 3 stars.

    A meteorite crashes to earth & Boris Karloff uses its radioactive power to grow some awesome sized plants (he should have grown some weed; there would be buds the size of my leg) but he make the mistake of taking fragments inside therefore giving just about everyone a form of ca...( read more)ncer eventually turning them into hidious killer monsters. Great title & a great idea just poorly executed.

    How could a movie called Die Monster Die possibly be horrendous? Well, I will tell you. Cheesy acting, corny special effects, and a silly premise make this movie one to swiftly forget. It doesn't matter that it was made in 1965 because plenty of movie came out before then that ma...( read more)naged to scare the shit out of people. A film's age should have nothing to do with how despicable it is. Themes and fears are universal.

    Die Monster Die is based on H.P Lovecraft's novel The Color Out Of Space.

    The movie follows Naham Whitley, played amazingly by Boris Karloff, who is a scientist that has grown all of the plants in his greenhouse to monstrous sizes with uranium. But in the potting shed ther...( read more)e are caged creatures that have been exposed to the radiation along with Naham's wife.

    The story is typical Lovecraft format and the story is genuinely original. Boris Karloff's transformation into the glowing plant man is shot very cleverly by director Daniel Haller. The director also disguises the deformities on Naham's wife and her maid Helga, and hits you with it hard at the end of the film.

    The effects are amazing for 1965. There are some actual creepy moments in this movie too. It builds up the suspense with the angry townspeople, the death of Naham's servant, Merwin, and the journey into the potting room. The cast of this movie is well chosen too, alongside Karloff are Nick Adams and Suzan Farmer who both do great jobs in their roles.

    All together, Daniel Haller delivers the scares in Die Monster Die, a great installment in classic horror

    two and a half stars for the single minute spent in the greenhouse.

    A sorry adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's "The Colour Out Of Space". They took the merest idea of the story and butchered it with some lame B-movie goth cliches. There is a nice an campy scene involving some strange mutated animals that make this worth seeing at least once.
  • April 12, 2007
    Really campy but it has Boris Karloff in it. That's good enough for me.
  • January 14, 2007
    Wishy washy treatment of H.P. Lovecxraft fiction
