so the scientists are self-critical of being white saviors after ruining the island with atomic testing and then in the very next sentence they're calling them witchdoctors. ok. like what 1957 was this written for. #monsterdon
Oh, that poor monkey, that cage is barely large enough to spin around in.
#Monsterdon Tubi is free and it shows. LOL.
#monsterdon the tubi transfer is atrocious
Impressive American twang on Kino's wife. I hope this movie gets on with it already, this prelude is a lot.
OH BOY we're in for a problematic one tonight #monsterdon
That certainly was one of the movies of all time #Monsterdon
Thanks to @Taweret for a lovely evening's cinema viewing.
Just a heads' up: I won't be making a #Monsterdon bingo card for The Hogfather, out of respect for the late, great Terry Pratchett, who was never a guy who stuck to simple tropes. π
See you there... with eggnog!
One ever-so-tiny thing I like about the absurd 'shoot the knife' approach: It did take 3 guys about 50 shots to hit it.
The other hilarious part: 3 guys shot like 50 rounds and the very next spoken line is "American magic is better." Yes, that was American magic alright.
I nodded off but I did wake in time to see the tree flop over dead Octaman style, so thereβs that.
Tubi wants me to watch Womaneater next. Per one critic, 'no-one seems to have liked the film'. Iβll get to bed.
Anyway i leave you with this: #Monsterdon
And the monster fucks off into the quicksand! That's all, folks!
From Hell It Came and In 1957 It Can Stay. Night everyone!
#Monsterdon
so, there was an actual re-animated tree walking around, but sure "american magic is better." #monsterdon
Iβm going to choose to let the racism pass over me and focus instead on ending with Mrs. Kilgore trying to get some Professor ass. Good night, everyone! #Monsterdon
I expected Mrs. Kilgore to mag dump that 1911 in the monster's direction...#monsterdon
"I'll aim above her." What? Where were you aiming before that? #monsterdon
That monster's bark was worse than its bite
Just go away, movie. #Monsterdon
That was remarkably more of a conclusion than we often get in #Monsterdon
am telling ya, these semi-automatic rifles are pure violence
That's not how guns work? #monsterdon
See, the movie wasn't even that badly SHOT compared to some of the crap we've seen, but it was seventy straight minutes of the most obnoxious goddamn people ever set to film.
FUCK From Hell it Came. #Monsterdon
No, Tabanga! Wrong one! #Monsterdon
that was truly awful, thanks friends #monsterdon #fromhellitcame
I mean, ethically speaking. More people deserved to die. #Monsterdon
"Nice shootin, Tex"
crazy lady: "I don't know how to shoot but give me one (a gun) anyway"
Man with spare guns: gives her a gun
π€¦π½ββοΈ#Monsterdon
Oh, come on, why wouldn't he have killed the one with the bad accent?
Terry's scream is incredible
Maybe it's part of the story that the trading post lady can't decide where she's from.
Like, maybe she's a con artist or something. #monsterdon
these people have no survival instincts. the one thing you cannot do when there is a Tabanga on the loose is lean up against a tree for a long time #monsterdon
(I'm a bit behind)
Remind me if I'm ever thrown into the quickest quicksand ever to quick, to NOT immediately wade deeper and start screaming.
@paco it's still unclear whether "how it ends" is even a relevant concept for this movie
LOL that slow bend over whats-his-face
I wonder if they got carried away with making the suit and then realized it severely restricted their ability to have the monster attack people.
It does look good though!
"...knock knock!"
"who's there?"
"Tabanga"
"Tabanga who?"
"Tabanga gonna get ya!"
Well thanks movie for making me look like an idiot. #Monsterdon
Laurel and Hardy, racist edition. #Monsterdon
I was kind of hoping to see a flaming tree stump monster walking around though
Quicksand doesn't work like that #monsterdon
Tabanga waited so patiently for that fire attack to be over and then just walked out of the trap unencumbered. he didn't have to he just didn't want to hurt their feelings #monsterdon
@WhiskeySailor No firewatch even
Okay, good job, let's all leave! Now, let's go, nothing to see or check up on!
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Ad break. Need more scotch!
"Tabanga comes!"
"Finally!" said the masseuse, changing hands for the fifth time.
#monsterdon #FromHellItCame
LMAO did the Atomic Cannibal Ent kill that dude with it's skull penis?
i want a tabanga plush
#Monsterdon Is that a tree hiding behind a tree?! Iβm marking it.
When you set a helpless monster on fire, the smart thing to do is walk away immediately rather than, oh, checking to see if it actually dies.
#Monsterdon #FromHellItCame
If you can't flee from a slow moving murderous ent by briskly walking away, you might just deserve to die. #Monsterdon
i am so far behind i keep going back and replaying the tree monster shots #monsterdon
...So the Kabonga killed... Maronga? I'm losin' track of the shitty racist names here :/ #Monsterdon
@apLundell OMG now I want to see a Muppet remake of this one
Or, really, a Muppet remake of something with a vaguely similar plot but much better overall
"Tabanga, come! Good Tabanga!"
#Monsterdon #FromHellItCame
WOO! QUICKSTAND DEATH! QUICKSAND DEATH!
They seriously are doing a good job minimizing the number of visible suit wrinkles, I'm kind of impressed considering how uninspired the rest of this movie feels.
paper-bag on paper-bag violence
On a snake AND a monkey just chilling in the lab. This is the most interesting thing that has happened so far. #Monsterdon #ItCameFromHell
Watch out for that tree!
Well, the tree is just looking for the full GF experience, poor guy.
we are 48 minutes into this movie, does this tree actually kill anybody, or am i gonna have to do it myself. #monsterdon
you have never experimented with something this... LARGE (says creepy Dr. Bill as he looks at Atomic Cannibal Ent's skull penis askance)
NGL I would be the THAT IS TOO EARLY TO GET UP guy in the middle of the monster menace #monsterdon
slow pan over the lab with hyperdramatic orchestral swell somewhere between shostakovich and disney-aladdin level "middle eastern" musical stereotype is one of the strangest musical cues that you could have chosen there #monsterdon
Which formula was it this time? X-38? #monsterdon #FromHellItCame
i don't know man, but Dr Lana Turner was totally looking at that skull penis... longingly
#Monsterdon Quicksand! it's like 10x quicksand references. My bingo card would have been full.
Where do you find a phlebotomist who knows how to run a central line in a shrubbery? #monsterdon #FromHellItCame
This guy is the world's worst scientist. They've discovered a tree with a heart, and he's all for destroying it and throwing it in the quicksand?
"There's no time to check the calculation, this thing is dying! It's now or never!"
"It takes at least 8 hours for this formula to have an effect"
I'm getting mixed signals here.
...You're gonna go to bed with the plant monster in the house. Have NONE of you seen Day of the Triffids? >:/ #Monsterdon
βHave you experimented on human beings?β
βWell, in college Iβ¦ oh, right. Science. No, no I havenβt.β
As a way to return from the grave for revenge, this isn't really all that effective. His targets had plenty of time to spot him and destroy him.
Now you just talking scientific goobedy-gook #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon What monster? The tree with a sphincter? It can't even move?
@SnoopJ I think you're good, there has been essentially no monster activity
@CactuarJoe no, they are mispronouncing "toboggan" (spoiler alert: the tree monster is named "Rosebud")
#Monsterdon #ItCameFromHell
so guys with slightly pointy eyebrows are supposed to be orientals in this movieπ€
If I lived in a straw hut, I would probably not talk loudly about all the murders I was going to do. #monsterdon
ma'am, i think this whole movie could use some indiscriminate gun fire, but mostly directed at the reels of film on which it resides. #monsterdon
Still the slowest rising zombie-thing ever.
#Monsterdon. An "airy" feeling? or an "Eerie" feeling?
The wandering accent is confusing.
Because you know Washington DC is never wrong about anything. #Monsterdon
Why does the tree have a pulsing sphincter? #Monsterdon
@apLundell@octodon.social If there's a giant pulsating bladder on it, I'd consider using a stethoscope, tbh.
#Monsterdon #FromHellItCame
I am watching at 1.3 speed to catch up after going back to rewatch some of these outrageous scenes and i gotta tell you this is the true #coffee experience, they are stressed and really in a hurry about it #monsterdon
Kemo? What about Kemosabe? #Monsterdon
@apLundell@octodon.social Clarke takes a look: "Well, I'm stumped."
#Monsterdon #FromHellItCame
Bill - consent man, consent. And pick a better place for a date than a fresh grave.
Kimo's coming back! His popularity grows every day! He's like Disco, but for murder trees! #Monsterdon
@msh "you sexually assaulted me back!"
Wait, they just buried the dagger with the dude? Ceremonial daggers don't grow on trees! Well, except this time, anyway.
