With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for fantasy readers and anyone who likes life-or-death stakes every episode. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them. Fans of Creature from the Black Lagoon or Island of Lost Souls should feel right at home. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 15 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1957: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
Deep in the jungles a mad scientist is using the natives' voodoo for his experiments to create an indestructible being to serve his will. When a party of gold seekers stumbles upon his village, the scientist realizes that Marilyn the expedition's evil leader is the perfect subject for his work.
