THE THING THAT COULDN'T DIE (1958)


OK so there's this decapitated head of a Satanist in a box and he hypnotizes a retarded fellow to kill for him. Then the big guy is shot dead by the police so he gets a chick to carry him around. This movie drags along at a snails pace and really doesn't have much of a pay-off. Our monster(who's now just a goopy-faced guy with a reverberating voice) finally gets reunited with his body and then is quickly killed by a crucifix necklace that's placed on him. Only a couple of guys get killed in the whole movie(including our Satanist who gets his head chopped-off but that sorta doesn't count since he comes back).  There's also a lovely lady with super-natural-type abilities who doesn't do much but get freaked out about everything.  The monster attack music from CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON shows up as well as other typical 50's sci-fi themes.  There's a ton of way more entertaining 50's monster classics that you should watch before this one.

  1. How do you mess up a movie about severed, satanic heads?

  2. Good question. Just keep the head in a box for most of the movie and have a bunch of boring people talking about nonsense fill your run-time.
