Review by Matt Hanke for Giant Gila MonsterRating: I can sum up this movie in one word, wierd. I first saw The Giant Gila Monster late at night as part of a local t.v. stations Godzilla Monster Week (no, the giant lizard in this film is of no relation to the King of the Monsters). I remember being disappointed after having stayed up late only to find that they were showing a monster movie that had absolutely nothing to do with Godzilla, but after having watched the movie I thought it was actually pretty good. Of course I was only about 5 years old at the time, and for me, 11:00 p.m. really was pretty late at night.Anyway, I just purchased a copy of this movie last week, and watched it (actually half watched I kept falling asleep) this afternoon. I knew that it probably wouldnt be as good as I thought it was nearly 20 years ago, but I didnt think it would be quite as lame as it is.Granted its a 50s B sci-fi flick, so you know its going to be extremely wild, cheesy and campy after all, thats what makes those movies so great. Even though this film does have its wild scenes, and it definitely is cheesy all the way through, and it is extremely campy theres just something that keeps this one from being one of the classics of its kind. Its probably the fact that aside from the giant lizards attacks (if you want to call them attacks), the rest of the movie is just plain boring.It starts out rather promising, with a giant reptile monster claw coming down violently upon a car with a couple teenagers inside, sending the car hurling over the side of a hill. Then the title comes up The Giant Gila Monster followed by the opening credits and some creepy background music. Its all downhill from that point on, though. The rest of the film centers around a small Texas town in the late 50s that seems to be populated by a bunch of rednecks, a semi-intelligent sheriff, a bunch of dancing teenagers, and our hero an Elvis wannabe who lives at home with his slightly cooler than June Cleaver mom, his crippled daughter, and his at times annoying foreign girlfriend. Oh yeah, occasionally he gets to take breaks from his hectic life to play some extremely cheesy folk tunes on a toy banjo! By the way, I happen to like real folk music, but these songs just made me want to vomit!Anyway, now on to the real star of the movie the giant terrifying Gila Monster!! Yawn. The only thing that seems to be menacing about this overgrown lizard is his enormous size. The only way he actually brings destruction are the times when he happens to be crossing the road and cars smash in to him, or the time when he walks under a rail road bridge and ends up causing the train to wreck simply because hes too big to fit under the bridge! Out of the about 10 attacks the lizard makes throughout the film, only 2 were actually done on purpose! Certainly there was little for these backward citizens to actually fear from this abnormally large reptile. One thing that certainly surprised me when watching this movie is that the fact that real life gila monsters are venomous was not even mentioned in the film. Some monster!All right, now that Ive talked your ear off about this movie, decide if you really want to watch it or not, and then wait for it to come on late night t.v. I certainly wouldnt want anyone else to make the mistake I did of purchasing it. I wouldnt even suggest renting it, there are certainly better ways of spending a couple bucks.
