"The Beast Of Hollow Mountain" (1956)
-Guy Madison
Plot :IMDB
An American cowboy living in Mexico discovers his cattle is being eaten by a giant prehistoric dinosaur.
Phantom's Review: I love monster movies, (pretty obvious I know)but I'm also a huge, huge fan of westerns, and whenever these genres meet, I'm interested. Most of the time you get crap ("Billy The Kid vs Dracula" anyone)sometimes you get a small gem ("Curse Of The Undead" 1959) and sometimes you get a film like "Hollow Mountain". A film so outrageously goofy, you just can't help enjoying it.
Put western star Guy Madison, a cattle stampede. a beautiful heroine, a hissable villain, and obnoxious little boy, his drunken father and a hungry dinosaur all together and you've got this looney, fun little time waster.
Based on an idea by Willis O'Brian (but he didn't do the FX, too bad) . The acting is OK. The FX barely passable (your going to love the dinosaurs tongue) and some decent western action. This would make a great double feature with "Valley Of Gwangi". :)
