Do you like stock footage? Do you like scenes of people walking around aimlessly for what seems like hours on end? Then Monster from Green Hell is the movie for you, brother. Directed by Kenneth Crane, probably most notable for The Manster (1962), The Monster from Green Hell tells the story of scientific experimentation gone horribly awry and is brought to us by Image Entertainment from the Wade Williams Collection (I gotta see this guy's movie library sometime). The film starts out with some hokey voice over, and then scientists sending various animals, bugs, etc. into outer space in a number of rocket ships so that they may study the effect of cosmic radiation on living creatures. The end result will be to determine if it is safe to send humans into the great unknown. Seems a problem occurs in one rocket, the one with the wasps, and this craft crashes into the continent of Africa. The wasps, exposed to cosmic radiation for an extended period of time, mutate and soon begin to endanger all life within an area that the natives call Green Hell. It seems unclear as to why this area was given this name, as I got the idea it had that name even before the mutant wasps entered the picture. Anyway, two of the scientists involved in the project hear of trouble in the area they suspect their errant ship went down, and decide to investigate. And thus begins the walking...and stock footage...and more walking...and more stock footage....and more...well, you get the idea. I did enjoy the scene where the group including the scientists ran into a particularly angry tribe of natives, and what they did to escape. Monster from the Green Hell stars Jim Davis, who many will probably know as Jock Ewing from TV's Dallas, as Dr. Quent Brady, as one of the scientists tracking the giant wasps. Also starring is Barbara Turner, whom you may not recognize, but has a more famous daughter that you may know, Jennifer Jason Leigh, who is not in this movie. So they find the wasps, and stuff happens. Do we see people getting pierced with giant stingers, ripped apart, and eaten by the mutant wasps? Sadly, no...the wasps do make appearances, but sometimes they are as big as a car, and then other times they are as big as a house. We never get to see one swoop down from the skies and steal away people, but rather they more or less slink around bushes and shrubberies spying on people. They didn't look half bad, considering this was most likely a fairly low budget movie. The most painful thing about this movie for me was Jim Davis. Between his many voice overs throughout the movie, and his wooden performance, I kept hoping a mutant bug would deliver him to a better place, or, at least out of this movie. Use of the stock footage was quite copious, but I will say it was used in such a way as to try and really compliment the action that was supposed to be happening on the screen. Reaction shots from various animals seemed to fit in nicely many times. The music was also pretty decent, complimenting what, if anything, was happening. What really slowed the movie down were all the scenes of the characters walking. Walking through the jungle, walking through the desert, walking through caves...ugh...it took a movie that ran 70 minutes and made it feel like three hours. I am sure I would have probably suffered sympathy pains in my feet except the only pain I was feeling throughout the film was the dull spike of boredom in my brain. The picture quality is decent, with a number of noticeable, yet, minor flaws in the print. I doubt anyone is rushing this through a restoration process, so I would bet this is as good a copy as you may ever see of this film. No real special features, except the inclusion of five trailers for some more cheapies, most notable The Brain from Planet Arous. These are slightly hidden, but easy to find. If you have an atomic-sized appetite for cheaply made giant bug movies, then, by all means, get this movie, but if not, enter at your own risk. Cookieman108
