MONSTER/METEOR MONSTER
This amazing 1950's Sci-Fi double feature
has both a movie about a meteor crash
survivor who grows into a hairy, bestial
moron, given to killing sheep, cattle
and stray humans and a film that has been
called one of the most intellectually
stimulating and suspenseful science fiction
films of the 1950s.
The first film, Magnetic Monster, is a
a truly novel science fiction film, in
terms of its cerebral plot and low-key,
quietly intense execution. As much a mystery
film and a manhunt as a sci-fi-thriller,
it pushed lots of suspense buttons for
viewers in 1953. The film is about an
agent for the Office of Scientific Investigation
and his mission to stop a potential world
destroying man made element called serranium.
The second film, Meteor Monster, tells
the tale of a teenage boy who is turned
into a hulking monster by a mysterious
meteor.
