The Monolith Monsters

Starring: Grant Williams, Lola Albright, Les Tremayne, et al.

The sleepy town of San Angelo is in danger after a giant meteor crashes nearby in the classic sci-fi thriller The Monolith Monsters. Strange black rocks from the event litter the town and nearby geologists are unable to identify the unusual specimens. When the alien monoliths interact with water, they grow to terrifying, gargantuan dimensions and petrify anyone in their path. It is up to one of the geologists and a dedicated professor to stop their path of destruction before they plow humankind into a stone-cold early grave.

Customer Reviews

"Everybody must get stoned" - Bob Dylan.

I love these 50s sci-fi movies. A lot of the fun ones are set in the California/NM desert. With today's big screens and high-res TVs, all those old fuzzy films can look much clearer. The old-timey cars would be worth a mint now, and when people drive them at night, there are lights inside so you can see who is driving. One of my favorite sci-fi actors is William Schallert. He only has a small part as the weatherman, but it makes this an official 50's sci-fi movie. I thought I saw this before but found that all I remember is that this film is the subject of many documentaries. A meteor comes down, leaving silica everywhere. Turns out that it has an affinity for drink and ladyfingers. Well, just about any finger will do. So, a local town (San Angelo) is terrorized. Just when things could get no worse, we find out what it likes to drink: "it is raining!"
