One of my favorites from childhood, this little shot in Texas sci-fi film never fils to entertain.
In a small town in Texas several mysterious car crashes have been reported and soon people start vanishing without a trace. A young man named Chase Winstead (Don Sullivan) helps the local sheriff (Fred Graham) investigate.
It is soon discoverd that a giant lizard is roaming the back country. This becomes clear after is causes a major train wreck in which many people are killed.
This was directed by Ray Kellogg and features a cast mostly out of Texas and it's always fun to hear the accents and know you are watching a non hollywood film.
This has been a staple of both VHS and DVD for years and while some of the prints have been pretty good, this restoration is the best it will ever be.
Fans of this film should pick this up quickly and see the movie as it was meant to be seen. The Blu-ray also includes a disc wit a restored version of "The Killer Shrews" which I will discuss later.
The rest of the cast includes Lisa Simone, Shug Fisher and Ken Knox.
Now, my one and only comlplaint about this is the inclusion of liner notes by Don Stradley. This is one of the most poorly written and sick things I have ever read. If you're gonna write about a movie, then stick to the movie. People don't need to hear you liberal thoughts about the makers of the films or sick, perverted references about the script from some weirdo who needs mental help.
I hope you all pick this up, watch both films and throw away the worthless booklet.
