The Trollenberg Terror (aka The Crawling Eye) [Import] on Blu-ray

There is a wonderful absurdity at the center of this 1950s science fiction curiosity, where an alien presence takes the form of something both grotesque and oddly fascinating. Set in the Swiss Alps, the film builds it's tension through isolation and uncertainty, as disappearances give way to the realization of an otherworldly threat. Forrest Tucker plays the investigator with clipped authority, grounding the more outlandish elements. It stands as a reminder of an era when imagination often outpaced resources.
