Product Description

Video Details

A classic science fiction terror thriller about a weird creature from outer space which survives in the rarefied atmosphere of the Swiss Alps and terrorizes scientists in a remote high-altitude research station. This hideous monster hides in the fog-shrouded cloud of mist and kills its victims by decapitation. As the mysterious cloud descends on the Swiss village of Trollenberg, United Nations science investigator Allan Brooks (Forrest Tucker), Professor Crevett (Warren Mitchell) and a young woman with psychic powers (Janet Munro) must find a way to stop the monster's murderous rampage before it's too late.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Crawling Eye......look out it'll get ya!!!", Sep 17 2008

This review is from: Crawling Eye, the (DVD)

Just finished watching this great gem about five minutes ago. Loved start to finish. The dvd transfer was first rate with very little scratchs or wash out at all. Sound was pretty good. As with most all sci-fi/horror movies you don't really see a whole lot of the monster but get your moneys worth at the end. For the budget that the fx guys must not have had they did a fairly good job. The close up of the eye looked really good. I first heard of this movie from reading Stephen King's book IT and had to see for myself. Worth the wait. As with all titles I've gotten so far from Image first rate, run out and get your own and don't leave the lights out. See ya around.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can lose your head in the clouds, Oct 10 2004

This review is from: Crawling Eye, the (DVD)

This movie is based on a British TV series The Trollenberg Terror.

A mysterious cloud is occupying the mountain. People are mysteriously disappearing or at least their heads are detaching. Alan Brooks (Forest Tucker) has seen this happen before and is familiar with the phenomenon so he is sent to investigate. Also Sarah Pilgrim (Jennifer Jayne) a psychic in a sister act is compelled to go there; if you do not keep your EYE on her she has a tendency to wander off in a trance.

There is something funny about one of the disappearing villagers that suddenly returns.

It looks like the only hope for the town's people is to head for the lab at the top of the sky lift as it has thick concrete walls. The lab is equipped the standard 50's SCI/FI equipment. Yet your future is cloudy (radioactive cloudy). When confronted by a mysterious eye will you freeze in your tracks or do you have a tentacle to be lifted by the experience.

Do not watch this movie if you are in a cabin.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Clouds Have Eyes..., April 23 2004

This review is from: Crawling Eye, the (DVD)

Mountain-climbers are having more than their fair share of fatal "accidents" on mount Trollenberg. Heads are popping off their shoulders like dandelions in weed-whacker country! Something in a strange, mobile cloud is killing people. Enter Alan Brookes (Forrest Tucker), a UN investigator sent to, yep, investigate. A geologist and his companion climb the mountain. The geologist is decapitated and his friend is zombified by whatever is creeping about inside the mysterious cloud. Anne and Sarah Pilgrim (Janet Munro and Jennifer Jayne) are staying at the Trollenberg hotel. Ann is a psychic who has tapped into the alien consciousness within the fog. The zombie-guy is sent to kill her, but fails. Hans the barkeep is also zombified and sent after Ann. Everyone ends up in a fortress-like observatory on the mountainside for a last stand against the hideous monsters. TCE is a good movie. It would have been a great movie if they hadn't shown so much of the wobbly, pitiful creatures, or the doll that we're supposed to believe is a man. The shots of the beasts through the doorway / wall are awesome, and would have been plenty. It's still well worth owning...

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT IMAGE AND SOUND
Compare the trailer on the disk to the actual movie. The quality of the trailer is terrible and is probably how many people have seen the entire movie. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Flick!
This is a real gem. The DVD quality is excellent. British Sci-Fi and Horror from this era often surprises--the films may initially look like standard American triple-feature... Read more
