Manthast Absolutely amazing

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

O2D First of all, I don't know why this site says this movie is Horror, Romance, Sci-Fi. It's not any of those. It's a light-hearted western comedy. If a man failing to steal a woman is a romance, then this is a romance. I haven't seen many westerns but from what I have heard they all have this plot. The bad guy wants to chase someone off their land. And there's a drunk Mexican. The only really bad thing about this movie is that it is way too long. There are several extended periods of nothing and it's hard to keep paying attention. Basically, this movie is a family friendly monster flick that no child would ever have the patience to sit through. I'm sure if you could force a first grader to watch the whole thing, they might thing it was awesome. A second grader would know better.

Julian R. White With as incredibly rare as this film is, I decided to drop a whole $20 on the recently released bluray version, simply because I just wanted a chance to see it. Let me start off by saying the stop motion and notorious "tongue flailing dinosaur" in this film was so comically bad. Now on to the main problem I have... The movie hardly focuses on the beast at all. In fact, the first 75% of the movie doesn't even MENTION that there was ever even legends of a beast surrounding the mountain. The only thing we hear about it is told to us by the narrator immediately after the opening credits. That being said, it's pretty weird that when the monster finally does make its appearance, it seems almost as if it was expected by the townspeople. They act as if an enormous blue tongue flailing monster dinosaur is a normal sight in their lives, and no one even questions what the animal even is. The part that made me confused though was the ending. The monster is dead, hooray, but the distraught little boy never finds his father whom he so desperately wants to find (though as the viewer, we know he has been killed). The boy never again asks about his father, nor does his reaction really bring any..closure I suppose you could say. I loved the monster, I loved its trademark design, but I didn't really like the plot, and its seemingly entirely unrelated love-triangle.

Diana Strange For any curious, this movie is a target of riffing in the new "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return". That is the format I watched it in and at least for me it was not the worst movie ever but in no way good. The biggest fault for the movie is that they did not hint at the dead livestock being killed by a monster at all. I had 0 expectations for a T-Rex in the last part of the movie. The acting and writing were actually decent for a western if you went in with 0 expectations for quality.

JessieTambay This was one of my favorite films when I was a child growing up in the 1950s. It was SO scary then. It's actually a pretty good movie. The story has all the right elements and is perfect for family popcorn and movie night. My little grandson watches it with me and enjoys it as much as I did at his age. I have made all my friends watch it, and they, good-naturedly, holler out their favorite "bad" lines of dialogue.After all these years, I still get a kick out of watching it. I have one of the original movie posters framed and on my wall (56/360) and not one person, ever, commented on why I have a big picture of a dinosaur on my wall. I think that says more about me than about my friends.
