Watch The Cyclops For Free

Waste of time

Simply Perfect

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The CyclopsThe upside to being 50-feet tall is you can make money just by standing outside car dealerships waving.However, the mutated features of the colossus in this horror movie might scare off customers.When Susan's (Gloria Talbott) test pilot boyfriend Bruce (Duncan Parkin) crashes over a mysterious area of Mexico, she hires a pilot (Tom Drake) to take her, a scientist (James Craig) she just met and a shady mining consultant (Lon Chaney Jr.) to the cursed region where gargantuan creatures are rumoured to dwell.Unfortunately Susan's rescue party is more interested in harvesting the radium that turned Bruce into a mindless Cyclops than in helping her subdue him.Just one of many radioactive giant B-movies released in the 1950s, what sets this black-and-white jungle adventure apart is the Cyclops' unforgettable design and Lon Chaney's drunken performance.Incidentally, a thoughtful gift for a giant is a hot air balloon poncho.

Three men and the woman who is financing the expedition go into a forbidden part of the Mexican desert. Gloria Talbott is searching for her fiancé who was an aviator and went down in the region three years earlier. Her fiancé's best friend James Craig who is a scientist is along, pilot Tom Drake, and Lon Chaney, Jr. who is looking for uranium deposits is along.Radioactive material they find all right, it makes ordinary creatures grow to incredible size. One of those creatures is a 25 foot deformed man with only one eye like the legendary cyclops of Greek mythology. I think we know what happened to the fiancé.Bert Gordon produced this one for Allied Artists on an Allied Artists shoestring budget. But the studio got its money's worth. Some nice sincere performances from the cast about a human tragedy. The Cyclops is worth a look.

On a warm Saturday summer evening in the early part of the l960's I warmed up my 21" Motorola Black and White TV and sat back in my Father's easy chair and Watched my favorite show CHILLER THEATRE. My favorite title appeared THE CYCLOPS and I couldn't wait to see the disfigured Giant. I had viewed this movie several times before but this time I wouldn't turn away when the leading man spears the Giant in his lone eye. Favorite scene is when the party of 4 gets trapped in the huge cave as the huge boulder slides forward ever so slowly blocking the front of the cave.Then abruptly the Giant appears in full view Bald,scarred,ugly with only one eye that doesn't blink.What really disturbs you is the load roar or moans coming from our 30'friend.Oh did I mention that this Giant is the woman lost fiancé? I recall my younger sister running from the room at top speed when she saw our one-eyed star simultaneously crying for my Mother. Swiftly My MOM would come into the living room and switch off the set and tell me to watch something more suitable or just read a book. I'd wait a few minutes and click on channel 11 and continue watching our four prisoners trapped in the Cyclops's cave. Periodically our bald one-eyed menace would rises up and growls at them when he wasn't taking watch outside the cave. Lon Chaney Jr. had the gumption to shoot the giant but gets clobbered and dies. A large snake appears and attacks the Cyclops so the remaining three make a break for the forest. The climax is worth waiting for and this time I did indeed watch the flaming spear penetrate the lone eye of the giant in the hill climbing scene. It wasn't the act of spearing that bothers you but the reaction of our mutant giant crying like a small child. Whimpering in defeat and blindness as he pulls out the spear and struggles to get his bearing to no avail. The three remaining get in their plane and barely clear the Giant and mountains as our giant lays on the ground. When you get right down to it . The girl doesn't get her fiancé, The guys don't find uranium. Lon dies and our star the giant is blind and we'll probably get strangled by that large snake when he sleeps which is all he has left. I love this movie!

The Cyclops was one movie I had been after for a long while and finally obtained a DVD on the Warner Archive Collection.A party heads over to Mexico by aeroplane to look for the missing fiancé of one of the party members. When they get there, they are in a land which is full of uranium and is very radioactive. The radiation has caused giant lizards and insects and a rather unfriendly and deformed giant human...Good cast that includes sci-fi/horror regulars Lon Chaney Jr and Gloria Talbot. With Dean Parkin (War of the Colossal Beast) as the Cyclops.And this is another product of Bert I Gordon. Great fun.Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
