Giant from the Unknown (1958) Reviews

Member Rating:

In Richard Cunha's Giant from the Unknown, scientists come upon a petrified lizard in the California Mountains. The lizard revives, proving the theory of suspended animation. Excitedly, scientist Wayne Brooks (Ed Kemmer) begins searching for a legendary Spanish giant called Vargas, who disappeared in the region 500 years earlier and who also may be in a suspended-animation state. Brooks discovers all too soon that his instincts a correct: a bolt of lightning releases Vargas (Buddy Baer) from his centuries-long slumber, whereupon the big brute goes on a homicidal rampage. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

When all things are considered, I guess this isn't all that bad a film. I mean, it WAS made in 1958, in the midst of all the popular horror films of the time. However, there are reasons it was never considered a classic movie. Mostly, I think, it was a weak script.
