Review of Gorgo (1961) by Kevin E — 11 Jul 2013
A giant monster opus drizzled in copious amounts of cheese, GORGO is nevertheless a surprisingly effective spin on the tropes of the genre, and the English locale gives the movie something of a unique atmosphere.
The creature effects are decent (even if they never for one second convince us we're seeing anything other than a man in a suit), and it's kind of refreshing to see British landmarks destroyed instead of American or Japanese ones, as is often the case when cinematic giant monsters attack.
