Giant from the Unknown (1958) is currently available on Tubi. The storyline follows a Spanish giant conquistador that is awakened after being struck by lightening. He terrorizes the Midwest and starts a killing spree. Meanwhile a researcher and archeologist just happen to be researching the very area he's terrorizing.
This movie is directed by Richard E. Cunha (She Demons) and stars Ed Kemmer (The Spider), Sally Fraser (It Conquered the World), Bob Steele (The Big Sleep), Morris Ankrum (In A Lonely Place) and Buddy Baer (Jack and the Beanstalk).
The storyline and characters in this are very well established. The acting is actually pretty good for the genre. The Midwest setting are solid too. The Giant emerging from the ground definitely wasn't what I was expecting...he's kind of just a regular guy sitting up and getting out of a hole. 😂 The action scenes were fairly average and the waterfall scene at the end was absolutely hilarious.
This movie had potential...but is bad. I would score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping it, unless you need a few good laughs.
