alexlincs 28th Jan 2022		Rated 7/10 The Trollenberg Terror is a film that plays on Cold War paranoia with a theme of radioactive monsters from other planets. The merging of Sci-Fi and Horror was hugely popular in the 50s with films like Godzilla, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms and Them! Since the home video market these films have gained a cult following. I'm sure that in the 1950s cinema goers will have had the life scared out of them. Now these films are seen as being campy, party movies; a few beers and a lot of laughs. Trollenberg Terror was a low budget British production featuring American actors. Due to the budget constraints the special effects are truly terrible. Painted backdrops of mountains, mountain scenery made of fibreglass with the actors walking on scaffolding boards, Airfix airplanes and the creature effects really deliver on comedy value. That said the film has a lot of charm, with the actors playing it straight and some good acting. The film has gone onto gain cult status with John Carpenter professing to being a fan and I can see some influences being used in The Thing (itself a remake of The Thing From Another World). Sadly for me the sticking point was an incredibly slow pace and despite the end payoff being good it was a bit of a slog. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
