OCT. 18 ONLY
Giant Gila Monster
Directed by Ray Kellogg
Starring Don Sullivan, Lisa Simone

Rated NR | Runtime 1 hours & 14 minutes

Only Hell could breed such an enormous beast. Only God could destroy it! Well, if not God, how about a heroic hot-rodding teenager? That's the idea behind this independent slime fest from the same film company that produced another low budget "classic," The Killer Shrews. Both were directed by Ray Kellogg, a special effects specialist and second unit director who would eventually work on some of Hollywood's biggest pictures, including Cleopatra and The Green Berets. In 1959, though, it was all about Gila monsters and revved up teens. If there's a schlock Hall of Fame, this one deserves its own wing!

Immerse yourself in the unparalleled magic of a 4K restoration that breathes new life into every frame, revealing exquisite details that have remained hidden for decades.
