Review of Reptilicus (1961) by Daniel H — 22 Dec 2008

Nearly terrible, if not for its sheer uniqueness as one of (make that the only) Danish monster movie. Covering all of the required B-Move formulas, with the added bonus of giving New York and Tokyo a rest in favor of exotic (and hilariously modeled) Copenhagen.

The final icing on the cake is the absurdly pupeteered Reptilicus, which dangles on marionette strings and has a non-existent body almost always hidden by a convenient grove of trees.

The American version removes a hilariously bad flying sequence, but fear not, it adds a laughable "special effect" of neon projectile goo.
