January 2, 2009the original 'giant monsters caused by radiation' film from the 50's. the creatures look fake of course but it's still fun. a big influence on spielberg among others

November 4, 2008One of the best of the 50's sci-fis. Giant Ants! Special effects are pretty dated, but with a really great script and a great cast, who cares? A good late-nite popcorn flick.

September 20, 2009Yep, had to go to the way-back machine. It?s good to watch some of the old classics like this. And I had never seen it before, so it was refreshing.

July 31, 2009The mid-50's was the absolute prime for horror/sci-fi classics. The Creature From The Black Lagoon, The Day The Earth Stood Still, and Them! This was a very unique film. The first half is a detective mystery which quickly turns into a sci-fi creature flick. i quite enjoyed both p...( read more)
