31 Movies of Halloween: Day 25

Day 25 - The Beast with a Million Eyes


This, let's say gem, is from 1955. Now, sometimes these old creature features are awesome (See Them). Sometimes, they are like The Beast with a Million Eyes. Which was terrible. Going into it, I wasn't expecting anything mind blowing. But I was hoping for something mildly decent. I was wrong.
Tragically wrong.

It's about an alien that crashes on Earth and starts taking people and animals over (thus the million eyes thingy). He uses the creatures he controls to attack people. Yeah, it sucks worse than it sounds. And it sounds horrible.
Luckily, the other Darrin is there.

The movie is like 75-80 minutes long. DO NOT SPEND 75-80 MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE WATCHING THIS MOVIE! It feels like you're in a time warp that is sucking the life and, more importantly, the fun out of you.


Best Part:
I should say none. I really, really should, but I have to go with the film's poster.
But it looks SO good...

Look at that. That poster screams "awesome movie." It's frightening. It's kind of sexy. It's a tremendous let down. Because after you see this, it all goes downhill from there.
