Watch The Monster of Piedras Blancas For Free

I love this movie so much

best movie i've ever seen.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The monster, which looks like a nastier version of "The Creature from the Black Lagoon," invades a sleepy lighthouse town. The superstitious lighthouse keeper is worried for the safety of his beautiful teenage daughter, so he leaves food for the monster, who dwells in a nearby cave.As stated, this was clearly inspired at least in part by the Creature. And, as I understand it, there was some overlap in the makeup and costume department, so that is not altogether shocking. But the interesting part is that this "knock off" is at least as good.In fact, the entire film is just as good. Though not a celebrated classic, it is no worse than any other film of its era that is now considered a cult film. This really needs a new audience. Olive Films has released it, but only in a bare bones fashion... where is the love?

This story takes place in Piedras Blancas, a point located along the California coast. Killing by unknown assailant starts to happen in the town near the light house of Piedras Blancas. The victim is decapitated and the blood from their bodies are missing. Little do the people of the town know, the cause of this incident started when the owner of the butcher shop refused the sale of scrap meat to the light house attendant. The light house attendant is keeping a secret that the whole town will soon find out.Piedras Blancas exists in California coast along the part of Pacific Coast Highway, called Cabrillo Highway about 60 miles north west of San Luis Obispo, and 90 miles south of Monterey Peninsula. It's a picturesque part of the state where you can see endless expanse of the Pacific ocean, and sparsely forested hills of California. There's an actual light house there where presumably this movie was shot. There's no town as such that's depicted in this movie near this point.There is a monster in this movie as the title suggests. It looks very much like the creature that appeared on the movie "It ! The Terror from Outer Space" with some modifications. The story is rather thin, but because the monster has a good presence, this movie is entertaining.At just over an hour, the movie is short, but it's just the right length to tell this story. Not a big budget movie, but it has decent story and good acting. Recommended for '50s sci-fi movie fans.

Monster of Piedras Blancas, The (1959) * 1/2 (out of 4) Silly Mexican rip of The Creature from the Black Lagoon has a small fishing village being terrorized by a sea creature who likes to cut off heads. There isn't an ounce of charm in this low budget film, which makes it deadly boring and silly. The creature looks pretty good but he isn't on screen until the very end, which makes no sense since the rest of the movie is just boring.As of now this title isn't available officially so you'll have to find it from a trader.

Very entertaining movie,gives you a real feel for the time it was made.Was one of Don Sullivan's best and makes you wonder, if Steve McQueen could advance from " Blob " what ever happened to Don Sullivan? My friends and I first saw this movie late on night while camping out in the backyard with an extension cord stretched to an old b/w and the scene where the monster comes out with the head scared us to death!
