EEGAH! (1962). Really bad low budget offering in every department. The late Richard Kiel (Jaws in the James Bond films) offers some pathos as the lonely caveman, but things get a little risque as he all but undresses the obnoxious girlfriend of the even more obnoxious hero (played by Arch Hall Jr who redeemed himself a couple of years later in the frankly unsettling THE SADIST.)
Some decent footage of Bronson Canyon used in loads of B movies like TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE and ROBOT MONSTER.
I like cheesy B flicks, but found this a very long 90 minutes. Watch at your own risk. *1/2

Faust (1926)
Poster.

Cinematography and the special effects were really great at it's time. It had this "theater act" feel to it (it was written as a play). Director was F.W. Murnau who is known for directing Nosferatu (1922).
Should I say, a classical piece of cinema? Great German Expressionism style, religion-themed film?

Dracula Has Risen from the Grave -- 3.5/10; Most of the running time is spent with the dullest characters. Good job, writer.

House of Frankenstein -- 6.5/10; Although Karloff gives a nice performance, too much time is spent on his character to make this a high-caliber monster mash-up.

The Indestructible Man
2/10

Lon Chaney Jr is a ruffian who gets a second chance to get revenge and his loot.

Spoilers -
Lon is put to death, and 5000 volts brings back to life, and super strong and impervious to bullets. It's really bad, but fun film to make funny comments while watching -- which is what 3 buddies and I did the other night. It was fun.

I agree Frye Dwight. EEGAH was not even scary at all. the only good version was the mst3k version.

Oh by the way Richard Kiel is not dead yet. damn

The Old Dark House (1963)



Still on the Castle binge - Charming, funny old school old house and an inheritance flick. Titles were done by Charles Addams and the sets are great. Very different from the James Whale version of the same book (Benighted).
