If I have the time and/or energy, I might also post an article or two explaining my thoughts on how to salvage the new Universal Monster reboot franchise—already a disaster in the making, though not without a great deal of unrecognized potential.
An interesting looking list – but I’m not sure The Quatermass Xperiment should be included as it’s certainly a A Grade film – B grade only by virtue of its small budget.
Even though I included several A-grade films on the list, B movies will be my general theme for the month. I had originally intended to review all the Hammer/Amicus movies this October, but I’ll probably need to save most of those for next year due to time constraints.
Well your reviews will certainly be interesting.
Looking at ‘The Lost World’ retrospectively it’s a terrible film – but it succeeded in frightening me as a child.
I’m sure you will spotted that the helicopter cockpit seems to be copying the TARDIS in that it’s bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.
