Review of Die, Monster, Die! (1965) by Allan C — 13 Jul 2016
Nick Adams visits his fiancée's spooky mansion to find it surrounded by desolation (ALA "Fall of the House of Usher") and a creepy wheelchair bound Boris Karloff. The locals townsfolk shun Adams and the family for mysterious reasons, which are quickly revealed to be around a mysterious meteor that crashed on the property and was the cause of the desolation and additional mysterious events.
The film was loosely based on the H.P. Lovecraft story "The Colour Out of Space" but this hardly feels like a Lovecraft story. Despite that, the film does work in a strange way of mixing the style of AIP's gothic horror Poe adaptations with a bit of science fiction.
Not a classic, but entertaining.
