This 1954 3D classic was meant as a follow up to "House of Wax" and except for not being in technicolor the opening scene is almost identical to the earlier film. Other reviewers have covered the details of the story but I just wanted to add that it recently became available in 3D on blu-ray! It's really the only way to watch this movie and I highly recommend it!

Great news! Kino plans to release a restored version of this movie in Blu-Ray 3D on November 24 2015 so the fantasy sequences should really be effective. Those scenes were really the only reason to watch an otherwise banal movie but they were released in anaglyph 3D which was never that effective to begin with. Seeing it in f/s Blu-Ray 3D will be a whole new experience and should be a real trip! Basically the story deals with a psychiatrist who is troubled by the suicide of a patient until he receives a package from the man that was sent just before his death. It contains an ancient Aztec mask but when he puts it on the doctor experiences wild hallucinations. This low budget Canadian production is notable only for those sequences and they should be awesome in this newly restored version.

I had a look at this in 3-D and must confess that there are not enough D's in the world to save this puppy. A little girl who lost her whole family to an attack by Bigfoot during a camping trip grows up haunted by nightmares and determined to exact revenge against the creature. With the help of a sympathetic veterinarian she returns to the scene of the crime to investigate with catastrophic results. The acting is uniformly bad, all the characters are unappealing, the direction is non-existent and the photography is poor. Even the 3-D is so exaggerated that it makes you cockeyed. I usually admire any independent group who has the drive and ambition to get a movie produced and released but these folks really need to hang onto their day jobs!
