Clunky old monster movie with what might be one of the most ridiculous-looking monsters ever! What you get here is a slow-moving, shuffling-footed tree-monster, named Tobanga!, who looks like he escaped from the set of THE WIZARD OF OZ. He has an exceptionally dumb face on himself for added laughs and his preferred method of inflicting death on his victims is stealthily sneaking up on people and grabbing them. I think if I was a big hulking tree-monster I would just go around falling on folks since that seems to do quite a bit of damage even from non-evil trees. This movie basically plays like an early prototype of those John Ashley Filipino blood island creature flicks like MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND & BRIDES OF BLOOD and in my mind I like to think they all took place on the same nutty island. A good watch for fans of old cheese.
