I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Pretty Good
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
When budgets are low you have to hope that story, script and/or good camera-work will carry a project. They certainly do here in a slow-moving, scene-setting and altogether superior b-movie.Lovely scenery, a nice crossover story and gently appropriate music combine well to create a film with genuine qualities.
While this movie doesn't have all the typical low budget horror clichés, it's still manages to move slowly and confuse you at the same time. The acting isn't too bad, it's not a constant tight shot and they are smart enough to never let you get a good look at the low quality monster, yet somehow it's still not good. The premise is bad enough. Some guys steal six bars of gold and are prepared to kill multiple people to get away and they have the longest and slowest possible get away planned. The beast is first seen in a gold mine and then later it lives in a haunted cave so I'm not sure what's up with that but that's the least confusing thing about the movie. The best thing I can say about this is that most 70 minute movies are much worse. Two stars.
Monte Hellman's "Beast from Haunted Cave" is the sort of movie that only Joe Bob Briggs, Elvira, or "MST3K" could present. I saw Elvira's presentation. The top-heavy hostess spends much of the movie commenting on the jumbled plot. It's presumably about a bunch of gangsters who hide in a ski lodge, unaware that a spider-like creature lives nearby. However, most of the movie is a bunch of talking, and they creature hardly has anything to do.Basically, it's only enjoyable through Elvira's presentation. On that episode, the Mistress of the Dark fires much of her staff but still has no shortage of wisecracks. This is one movie that lends itself to parody.And as for Elvira's interjection when one of the characters mentions cougars...well, I wouldn't mind being Elvira's boy toy!
This is actually a pretty interesting little crime-horror film. It surprised me. Really they could have changed it to just a crime film-noir and the movie would have been just as good but I like the horror aspect of the film.The movie is just as the plot-summary states "A group of gold thieves pull of a heist and flee into the snowy wilderness, only to be pursued by a horrible, spider-like monster." but it's actually better than one might expect it to be.This is a fun popcorn B-flick. I had a ball watching it. It's not the greatest horror film on the market but it is entertaining.6/10
