Colossus of New York, and Revolt of the Zombies, Review



This movie has a brain in a fishbowl scene like the one from Donavan's Brain. The difference is that this brain ends up in a mechanized form and has cool powers like shooting rays from his eyes that kill people. He apparently has no soul and is prone to evil, but must have some heart as he remembers his son.

This was an entertaing movie although a bit sad.

Revolt of the Zombies was filmed in 1936 and I love the costumes from that period. The femme fatale is so very lovely in her flowing gowns. A man finds the secret of controlling the thoughts of other people turning them into zombies, and they have to follow his commands. Initially his intentions are good, but later he decides to use them to get he girl. These zombies do not lust for brains so can't be real zombies.

I liked both of these movies. I will give Zombies 2.5/5 acorns and Colossus 4/5 acorns.
