A Giant Hit
Review date: 2008-04-14 Rating: 6 out of 10
Good old Bert I Gordon still thinks it is the 50's. This time,
instead of radiation, giant G.I.'S and rock'n'roll hating spiders,
here is a tale of what happens when man messes with nature.
Marjoe Gortner gets stuck on an island over-run by all sorts of giant
mice, wasps, even chickens!
A farmer discovers a growth hormone and feeds it to his livestock with
predictable results. A good fun movie with Gordon's trademark
super-imposed photographic effects which hold a certain charm in these
days of lazy CGI.
A fast pace, good cast including Pamela Franklin and Ida Lupino in her
last role, and great rat costumes make this a fine weekend movie.

Was I watching the wrong movie?This was a real hit at the cinema in the '70's but unlike other movies at the time ie Squirm,Shivers etc tis is one of the absolute worst!Now we're in a revival with remakes abounding-This is one that should be remade-it really needs it!Leave it on the shelf!

This must rank of one of the worst films of all time. A true shlock horror movie. I wish it wasn't the case though. One of my musical compositions is on this movie and I wasn't paid a penny for it. C'est la vie!
