Three friends (Eve her husband Harold and their lawyer friend Martin) are on a diving holiday in Puerto Rico. When they resurface they soon come to the realisation that they are probably the last people left on Earth! Sci-fi from the legendary Roger Corman penned by (and co-starring!) Oscar-winning screenwriter Robert Towne.
Crook Sparks Moran attempts to muscle in on a Caribbean island revolution by rescuing loyalists and helping himself to the contents of the national treasury. He then plans to kill the loyalists and blame a mythical sea monster for their deaths. Trouble ensues when the real monster turns up.
A spine-tingling double feature. A Bucket of Blood (Dir. Roger Corman 1959 66 mins) Coffee bar waiter Walter Paisley (Dick Miller) is hailed as an artist for his amazing lifelike sculptures. Unbeknown to his customers his art is achieved by murdering his models and covering them in clay. Said by many to be cult actor Dick Miller's finest hour A Bucket of Blood is a superb semi-spoof of the dead-bodies-in-the-wax-museum genre. Produced and directed by Roger Corman it is a fine example of macabre humour perfectly capturing the spirit of the beatnik. The Giant Gilla Monster (Dir. Ray Kellog 1959 74 mins) When a Texas town is threatened by a gigantic lizard a singing and swinging teenager kick starts his friends into gear to stop the crazed beast. An enjoyable romp through 1950s science fiction drive-in cheese the sleepy lizard wreaking havoc on miniature sets is no less terrifying than the musical numbers.
