FROM HELL IT CAME REVIEWED
“From Hell It Came” seems to have been released to Blu, so that it could be timed to the release of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”. Why is that? Well, tree monsters. This film focuses on a Pacific Island Prince being reincarnated into a tree monster. A team of Caucasian scientists show up to save Polynesia from the tree monster, but they also want to save the reincarnated Prince. I have to say that I kept checking for Ed Wood’s name to be on this one.
Tabanga the Tree Man is quite an amazing design for the era. However, what’s up with the supporting scientists. The blonde sounds like she’s straight out of Mary Poppins. The others are so stock that I almost expected Clutch Cargo style lip animation for their dialogue. While camp and kitsch are fun, this doesn’t demand your immediate viewing. Build up to on a B-movie night. Hell, use it as a closer.
