Watch Sound of Horror For Free

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.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

In a way you've got to sort of admire the chutzpah of these Spanish filmmakers for making their movie monster INVISIBLE for almost the entire movie - that's one way to stretch out a special effects budget! What is real disappointing, however, is that when the monster does become visible, it's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment. Actually, the monster isn't among the real problems to be found in this movie. The real problem with the movie is that it is both very talky and very slow. There's very little in the way of horror sequences, not just from the fact it takes almost a half hour before the first true horror sequence unfolds. The movie also has a weird feel to it, coming across more like an early 1950s low budget horror movie instead of a mid 1960s movie. Oh, the movie has a little unintentional amusement, ranging from the sloppy work done by supposed professional archaeologists to how the characters seem mighty slow to realize that a body count is escalating. But other than isolated moments like those, the movie is a forgettable bore.

When a group of isolated people in the Greek mountains set off a cave explosion, they are menaced by an invisible shrieking dinosaur that had been buried for eons.As it happens, director José Antonio Nieves Conde was fairly prolific from the 1940s through the 1970s. Unfortunately, he was mostly prolific in Spain, and therefore little known in the United States. I wonder what other gems he has to offer and how easy they would be to track down...This film also features the debut of Ingrid Pitt, which has to be worth something. This is a cheap horror film (invisible dinosaurs are about as inexpensive as it gets), but having Pitt in there makes it quite important in retrospect...

Professor Andre and a bunch of friends are searching a cave for a treasure from the days of Ancient Greece. What they find is much older than even that: a prehistoric monster, invisible (!) but stalking them day and night, uttering a horrible scream (see movie title). Everybody in this movie is heroic (although one coward type is what you'd expect for the genre), so the rest is almost a competition who can sacrifice himself first for the escape of the others.Even if it began a bit silly - I mean, the actors stand 5 meters away from the dynamite explosion and don't bother to take cover - it got better and better! The invisible enemy is quite effective, and the movie is old-fashioned in a positive sense, more like a horror classic from the 1930s than the 1960s. Good cast including the one and only Soledad Miranda, Ingrid Pitt of Hammer fame, plus experienced character actors such as Jose Bodalo ("Django") and Antonio Casas ("A Gun For Ringo").

How do you save money when you want to make a scary movie? Easy, just make the monster invisible! It worked (sort of) with INVISIBLE INVADERS (1958) where not only the aliens but also their spaceships were invisible. That is just what happens in this movie only it isn't space aliens this time it's . . . well hold on, I'll get to that.This b/w Spanish movie offers a bunch of old war buddies who are searching the mountains of Greece for art treasures hidden during WW2. To do this the start blowing holes in a mountain which the locals say is cursed. One blast does uncover a mummy but no his name isn't Popoca and he doesn't come back to life; that's another movie you are thinking of. They also discover a fossilised egg which they decide to take back to base camp. Unknown to them there was a second egg which cracked open. The contents, a blob-like substance, oozes out and . . . vanishes! Not long after that the men are planning what to do with the wealth they are soon to have when they dig up all those treasures (no one worries that the governments of the countries the artworks were stolen from might want them back but just keep repeating "It's only a movie, only a movie, only a movie . . ."). One man wanders outside to enjoy the night air when suddenly he hears footsteps but no one is close then. Then an ear piercing shriek rips through the night air. When the others find the friend he has been ripped to pieces. But who . . . or WHAT . . . did it?Okay here is what you have been waiting for. The young dinosaur popped out of the egg that hatched but he (it?) just happens to be . . . wait for it . . . invisible! Now this dino is just about mansized but his teeth and claws, plus the fact that you cannot see him until it is way too late, give him the advantage. The treasure hunters cannot even run to their truck and drive away because it might be waiting for them! Hmmmmmm, I'd say we have a problem here.Effects are surprisingly gory for a movie from 1964 and the suspense is really well constructed. The effects are fair, jump cuts are used the dino's footprints appearing in the sand and when an axe is thrown at the beast it is a blue-screen shot that only semi works. So is this a good film? YOU BET! It is the sort of thing that will make you feel like a kid at the movies on Saturday afternoon again. Of special interest is the inclusion of 27 year old Ingrid Pitt and 22 year old Soledad Miranda in the cast. Both would go on to achieve stardom, Ms. Pitt in Hammer Films and Ms. Miranda in movies for Jess Franco. The movie stops dead in its tracks so both women can dance.So do we ever get to see the dinosaur? Should I tell you or let you find out for yourselves? Ah, the movie is available from several DVD sources so . . . er . . . "see" for yourselves. you will not be disappointed.
