The Trollenberg Terror (US Title The Crawling Eye) 1958
Just seen this on the UK`s Talking Pictures channel.
Independently made in the UK, this was the last film to come out of Southall Studios and was based loosely on a 1956 British TV series of the same name.
I would say that it is well-acted and for the most part relies heavily on suspense rather than special effects. Although it is a science fiction film, it is noticeably influenced by the horror genre in places.
Towards the end it is marred to a degree by low-budget special effects but speaking personally that didn`t really spoil my enjoyment overall.
Would recommend to anyone who`s prepared to enter into the spirit of the thing and not really worry about whether it`s the last word in film making. At the end of the day it was an enjoyable and effective film and that`s all I care about.
