Product Description
From Amazon.com
The tranquility of a small Texas town is ruined when an enormous rear-projection lizard begins to terrorize the place! At first, the adults dismiss the kids' hysterics as nonsense. The sheriff is helpless and the adults fail miserably to defeat the thing, so it's up to the teenagers to take it on. Though this movie relies a little too heavily on plot and characters and not enough on giant lizards, it's still a fun slice of '50s camp. The lead character (played by Don Sullivan) sings some wildly inappropriate and goofy songs for some unintended comic relief. Rock & roll, hot rods, teenagers, huge monsters... all the elements are in place for this faintly ridiculous '50s funfest. --Jerry Renshaw
Video Details
A monster of unknown origin stalks Lover's Lane in search of fresh teenagers to devour in this monster-sized bash filled with rock 'n' roll, hot rods, poodle skirts, and prehistoric lizards the size of a Greyhound bus! Teens realize the cause of an escalating chain of destruction in their sleepy town, but authorities refuse to believe them until the corpses start piling up. Starring Ken Curtis (Festus from TV's "Gunsmoke") and directed by Ray Kellogg (The Green Berets), this is great and fabulous fun from the nifty Fifties, newly remastered like you've never seen it before!

Dreck then, Dreck now,
By
This review is from: Giant Gila Monster (VHS Tape)
Golden Turkey Awards to the following: to Shug Fisher for proving that lovable town drunks are the real menace and should be locked away permanently, to special effects for proving that a single coupon to Toy's R'Us furnishes all the props a movie needs, to the luckless lizard for proving that a single narcotized expression gets you real screen time, to the composer of "Laugh Children Laugh" for turning an audience of nice Sunday school graduates into howling mad atheists, and finally, to the producers for believing this 70 minutes of unabashed treacle would actually convert switch-blade greasers into Pat Boone acolytes. The best way to view this 50's abomination now, as then, is passed-out in the back of a '57 Chevy. Some may call it camp -- it doesn't rise to that level. I still call it dreck.

A movie saved only by its unintentional humor...,
By Nancy A. Staab (West Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Giant Gila Monster (DVD)
Where do I start on this turkey? The stupid story, the bad acting or the even worse singing. Yes, that's right, singing. This is the Sci-Fi movie that doesn't know if it's a story about a giant lizard or a vehicle to promote a new singing sensation. Well, they should have stuck with the lizard, because the singer was definitely not the next Bobby Darin. I awarded 2 stars because of the movie's saving grace: its unintentional humor.
