Monster of the Day #2059

Monster from Green Hell is one of those films that is a real slog at 70 minutes, and this is, after all, the money shot, but damn, I love giant props like that.

  • That’s the way I remember it. I keep looking at it in Prime thinking, well, maybe… but that memory of boredom keeps me at bay

    Someone needs to trim his nose hairs.

    Most the time the giant wasp looks darn cute.

  • Beckoning Chasm

    I remember liking the wasp scenes, but I also remember they were few in number.

    Glad I’m not the only one. I watched it decades ago and could barely keep awake.

  • Rock Baker

    Funny you never see any shots of the stop motion props. That battle with the python is short, but it’s delightful!

  • Eric Hinkle

    Those two guys in the picture being throttled by the giant bug look more like they’re dying of boredom.

    Apparently they filmed a bigger climax with the wasps, but the effects guy used so much dry ice (to represent the volcanic explosion) that the footage was unusable. This is why the ending of the movie looks so half-assed.
