I've rediscovered some old, black and white film gems on YouTube recently. This one looks as though it was made on a shoestring budget using a detergent bottle for the exploration vehicle. It reminds me of the imagination you needed back in the days of yore when then was no such thing as CGI.
Some of you may decide this is rubbish, but I think it's a little gem. And it's free. It also reminds me, much like the legendary films of Ed Wood, not to take my own work too seriously. In the 50s and 60s B Movies were dished out nineteen to the dozen without much thought to structure, deeper meaning, good acting or whether the sets wobbled, they were there to entertain.

I haven't seen this one, but I love old black and white horror films. They relied much more on plot and atmosphere than special effects.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites is The Uninvited with Ray Miland.

For christmas I got the Twilight Zone box set on bluray and it has blown me away! Some of the stories are way ahead of their time - this was a time when writers knew how to write.
