War of the Colossal Beast1958
“The towering terror from hell!”
Directed by Bert I. Gordon
The premise
Glenn Manning, "The Amazing Colossal Man," believed dead after falling from the Hoover Dam, reemerges in rural Mexico, brain damaged, disfigured, and very angry.
Horror Vault's take
The giant irradiated soldier Glen Manning was presumed dead after his plunge from Hoover Dam — but something massive and monstrous has been terrorizing rural Mexico, and it may be all that remains of him. Tracked down by desperate loved ones and a military scrambling to contain the situation, the colossus is now brain-damaged and driven by primal rage. This late-50s creature feature doubles down on tragedy as much as spectacle, asking what it truly means to survive.
