Four-Sided Triangle/X The Unknown

------------------------------------------------- Four-Sided Triangle Bill and Robin Hammer out their differences Bill, Robin, and Lena (Stephen Murray, John Van Eyssen, and Barbara Payton) were friends since childhood. After diverging lives, they soon combine their talents to build a replicator, a device that can copy anything, making a precise copy. Soon Lena must make up her mind as to who she will marry, as it is inevitable. She picks Robin, leaving Bill as the odd man out. No worry, as Bill envisions a radical plan that we have already guessed. What will be the results? This early Hammer film may have been a precursor to “The Fly” (1958). At least the technical part. However, I believe, as with all good Sci-Fi and many other genres, this is a vehicle for people, their emotions, and how we deal with each other. The film is in the old English style and in black and white. It starts out in the tradition of “Our Town” as the local doctor narrates the story to us as a third party. ------------------------------------------- X The Unknown Mud blood As with the original “Cat People”, it is what you do not see that will spook you. Appropriately named “X- The Unknown,” this movie is about a creepy monster that is unknown, and one has to figure out how to deal with it. This has all the “Stay in the car” type thrills that will later be used in “The Blob.” Soon enough, you find that it is mud out for blood. So once again, we must turn to our scientists to protect us. But can they do it this time?
