REPTILICUS 1961 (MGM)

Interesting Danish monster movie.

Sidney Pink directed this cool monster film about the tail of a large prehistoric monster being excavated and brought to Copenhagen for study. The scientists find out it is still alive and it begins to grow at a frightening rate.

Soon a huge snake-like beast is slithering thru Denmark and spitting a burning green slime as it destroys both cities and farms looking for food. There were several scenes of the monster flying that were cut from the final release print in the US, but you can see them on YouTube.

This is a good little film that has a pretty unknown cast except for Ann Smyrner and Carl Ottoson. Neat ending too. If you haven't seen this film all I can say is you gotta try it.
