Jacques Marquette directed this odd film about a young boy who is changed into a deformed giant after a meteor hits the mine he and his father are working in. His father dies and his mother raises him in secret.
Gil Perkins plays the monster and lovely Anne Gwynne is his mother. She desperately tries to hide the fact that he is the mysterious killer that he lover, the sheriff, played by Stuart Wade is hunting.
Gloria Castillo is a young woman who knows what is happening and starts blackmailing Gwynne. This is a bizarre film as they originally had the monster being able to talk, and then re-dubbed his dialogue into gibberish. Anne Gwynne talked about this in an interview once and she said it made the film simply awful as her character was able to understand what the monster said, while the people watching just scratched their heads.
This is a fun film which combines western and horror lore and that is a combination I always enjoy, and I hope you would too.
