Description

Lovely Susan Winter organizes an expedition deep into the wilds of Mexico. She hopes to find her aviator fiancé, lost after his plane crashed. Instead she and her three male companions find behemoth bugs, giant battling lizards, mountains practically glowing with uranium, and a 25-foot-tall human beast with a single eye, a melted-cheese-sandwich face and a very scary attitude. If you like nifty '50s horror, The Cyclops is the kind of over-the-top frightfest that'll have you spilling your popcorn. Among the cast: Lon Chaney (The Wolf Man) as a manipulative wheeler-dealer who'd just love to become a uranium millionaire…no matter the danger to the rest of the expedition. Writer/director Bert I. Gordon (Beginning of the End, The Amazing Colossal Man) masterminds the menace.

    It has everything I want in an old horror movie. Bert I. Gordon never misses. Lon Chaney is cantankerous. There is a love triangle and a woman in denial. Ad greed, fear, love, loss, heroics and some angst and you have a fun B movie. I loved it.
