It’s awful, it’s terrible, it’s difficult to watch — but it’s finally available in its original 3-D, in the improved Space-Vision process. A giant monkey attacks Seoul, trashing cardboard buildings, toy boats and a dead shark (and it’s not shamming). Keep a good movie on hand to rinse this one away immediately afterwards. Not recommended for people taking prescription medication. If simians persist, consult your doctor.

Two 1980's science fiction efforts from the 'eighties: Millennium is an expensive book adaptation with Kris Kristofferson and Cheryl Ladd navigating a time travel story about body snatchers from the future. R.O.T.O.R is direct to video and strictly from hunger. Oh, the agony… However, both films surely have lessons to teach the budding filmmaker who thinks moviemaking is easy. Millennium and R.O.T.O.R.

Genre fans have a quiet week of home entertainment releases ahead of them as February 16th features only a handful of horror and sci-fi Blu-ray and DVD offerings. That being said, cult and classic horror film fanatics should be ecstatic with several of the Blus coming out on Tuesday, including The Vincent Price Collection III, The Mutilator, Curse of the Faceless Man and My Science Project, featuring none other than the legendary Dennis Hopper.
Other releases this week include Estranged and Riddle Room.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Curse Of The Faceless Man (1958) because it’s one of the very first monster movies I can remember ever seeing. It played on TV a lot when I was a kid in the late 60′s but sort of disappeared from the Creature Feature rotation at some point long ago and was never released on VHS or DVD. I never saw it again….until now! It’s just been put out on MGM’s Limited Edition Collection and watching it transported me back over 40 years and the movie is exactly how I remembered it except for one thing…. It’s not scary! But that’s okay because Curse Of The Faceless Man is still a lot of fun. The Faceless Man of the title is actually a fella named Quintillus Aurelius, petrified and stone-encrusted since he’s just been discovered at an archaeological...

This week I took a look at Curse Of The Faceless Man on DVD. Cheers to Oregon-based Cheezy Flicks for finally giving this low budget gem from 1958 a proper DVD release.
Directed by the inimitable Edward L. Cahn, (It! The Terror From Beyond Space) the film essentially tweaks the plot of the old Universal Mummy flicks, just switching the action to Italy. (California, really).
A Roman slave is buried by the explosion of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii two thousand years ago. His body, now hardened into stone, is discovered by a group of scientists led by American Dr. Paul Mallon. (Richard Anderson of TV's Six Million Dollar Man fame).
It's not long before our lava encrusted friend returns to life to seek his lost love who has been conveniently reincarnated into the body of Dr. Mallon's fiancée, Tina. (Elaine Edwards). Much like The Mummy, he kills all in his path...
