The hunt for a gigantic African gorilla provides the basis for this adventure-fantasy. A circus manager leads the expedition right into a native ambush. The explorers are captured and slated to become human sacrifices when the towering title primate shows up and destroys everything. Fortunately, the explorers escape and find safety in an enormous cave that proves to be filled with priceless jewels. If the travelers can escape Gorga's wrath, they might find themselves wealthy men. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

In this bargain basement biker film, a soldier returns from 'Nam and learns that his brother-the-biker has been accused of killing the boy friend of the sheriff's daughter and incarcerating. Believing his sibling innocent, the vet takes over the gang and roars off to find the truth. His brother's former girl friend and the sheriff's daughter assist. In the end, they are successful and the brother is released. Unfortunately, he would have fared better had he remained in the hoosegow, for he turns out to be a savage brute who leaves his brother with only one logical option for dealing with him.... ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
Time Warp is the alternate title for the moderately budgeted Journey To the Center of Time. The scene is a research center, where experimental time-travel is in its formative stages. The center's directors are informed that, if they don't prove the efficacy of their research within 24 hours, they will lose their funding. A journey through time, commandered by scientist Lyle Waggoner is rapidly set in motion. Zapping 5000 years into the future, the time travellers confront a hostile band of extraterrestrials, who intend to conquer the world. The problem: how to get back to the "present" to avoid such a catastrophe (their first return attempt lands the travellers smack dab in the middle of the stone age). The all-former-star cast includes Scott Brady, Gigi Perreau and Anthony Eisley. Time Warp director David L. Hewitt had been here before in his The Time Travellers (1964). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Dr. Terror's Gallery of Horrors; Return from the Past; The Blood Suckers; Gallery of Horrors. No, that's not a quadruple feature at the Highway 194 Twin Drive-In. All four titles have been applied to the same film, which also travels under the name Alien Massacre. This multipart scarefest contains five short stories about magic, the occult, the "walking dead" and vampirism. John Carradine serves as narrator of "The Witch's Clock"; Lon Chaney Jr. plays a mad doctor in "The Spark of Life"; Vampire Mitch Evans figures into "Count Alucard"; "Monster Raid" features onetime movie ingenue Rochelle Hudson; and "King Vampire" spotlights a cast of no-names. The above-named veteran performers look suitably embarrassed in this low-budget farrago, which may not be the worst of its kind ever made, but certainly comes close. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
