In the 16th century a small band of warriors from the Spanish Ptolemy Firello expedition in California mutinies. Led by one of Firello's lieutenants, a huge, depraved giant of a man known as Vargas, the group heads off into the mountains to search for gold and is never heard from again. Hundreds of years later, a lightning bolt frees Vargas from a state of suspended animation underground and sends him out to terrorize a rural mountain village.

Weak 50's Horror Film

Giant from the Unknown (1958)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

Rather boring 50's horror tale about an expedition in Northern California where they unleash a giant Spanish conquistador who has been dead for over four-hundred years. Buddy Baer, Max's brother, plays the giant here but that doesn't really matter because this is the type of film that holds the monster away until around the fifty-minute mark and even then we only see him ever so often. Roger Corman liked to use this trick and a lot of times it could work but whenever our human characters are boring and the screenplay is full of bland talk then the lack of a monster really hurts and that's what happens here. Ed Kemmer, Sally Fraser and Morris Ankrum are the three who dig the thing up and all the romantic stuff between Kemmer and Fraser is rather silly and rather laughable. Bob Steele does a good job at playing the sheriff and he's the main reason to see this thing. The movie does have a few good things going for it and that includes the final chase that looks pretty good as the snow is falling. The actual ending has a rather obvious goof in it but I won't spoil what happens for you. The look of the monster really didn't impress me either nor did his little outfit. This isn't an outright horrible movie but I think fans of 50's horror will be disappointed because there's just not much going on here and certainly not enough to carry the 77-minute running time. The same director also made SHE DEMONS, FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER and MISSILE TO THE MOON.
