UNKNOWN TERROR 1957 (KINO) BLU-RAY

This is a personal favorite of mine.

The past reviews of this have been from the long OOP Sinister Cinema DVD. Kino brings this to Blu-ray in a stunning "Regalscope" print that is simply beautiful.

An explorer gets lost in a cave and his sister Gina Matthews (Mala Powers) and her husband Dan (John Howard) launch an expedition to find him.

The third person in the party is Peter Morgan (Paul Richards) who was injured in an earlier accident with Dan. The three travel to a small south american village and find nothing but trouble.

They meet a doctor named Ramsey (Gerald Milton) and his beautiful wife Concha (May Wynn). Ramsey is no help to the three, but thry finally locate a mysterious underground cave thanks to Concha.

The doctor has been experimenting with molds and has created a mold that multiplies and cannot be killed. He also has infected many of the natives with it and turned them into fungus men.

I think this is a fun little film and have always enjoyed it. Thank goodness this is now out on Blu-ray and I believe every 50's monster movie fan will want to see this unhearalded gem.
