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 there are caged creatures that have been exposed to the radiation along with Naham wife.
The story is typical Lovecraft format and the story if genuinely original. Boris Karloff's transformation into the glowing plant man is shot very cleverly by director Daniel Haller. The director also disguises the deformity's 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 suspunse with the angry townspeople, the death of Naham's servant, Merwin, and the journey into the potting room. The cast of this movie are 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
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 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!
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.
This is one of the last movies Boris Karloff filmed before he died.
Don't tell anyone, but I think it killed him.
