VHS Movie Reviews of Mole People
Movie Review: WHAT BIG EYES YOU HAVE!
Summary: 4 Stars
One of the advantages of being an old fart is that you can look at old movies with an unjaudiced eye. You can appreciate them for what they were/are instead of getting overly concerned about whether or not the special effects are "believable" or whether you can see the zippers in the monster's costume or whether the acting is Oscar worthy or not. In short, you can just watch the movie and have a good time. I've always had a good time with the old movies from the 1950's, and one of the flicks I've enjoyed consistently is THE MOLE PEOPLE.
Now possibly one of the reasons I got an extra kick out of the movie was that it was the first horror film I saw after learning about the Catholic Church's list of condemned films. MOLE PEOPLE was on that list, and even though our family wasn't comprised of very many practicing Catholics, it did give the film a certain special appeal. You know what I mean? I just had to see whatever it was they didn't want me to see!
Of course since I was only about 9 at the time I wasn't expecting anything in particular so I wasn't disappointed. A little mystified maybe, but not disappointed. It had everything I could ask for: archaeologists hunting for lost peoples, weird looking monsters who knew the value of friendship, a lost civilzation that worshipped a strange God (which might have been what had the Church freaked out in retrospect), and the inevitable earthquake that screws everything up.
Frank Baxter, who hosted a well-known tv show, does the film's intro to give the story some added creedence. Hugh Beaumont (from LEAVE IT TO BEAVER) stars as an archaeologist, John Agar is our square jawed leading man, Alan Napier is the High Priest of the lost civilzation the explorers discover, and Cynthia Nixon is the cursed girl with whom Agar falls in love.
Yes sir, a perfect movie going experience then and now. What a shame the MST3K people will never be able to appreciate it.
