646f9e108c After a spaceship crashes on Earth, a giant egg rolls from the wreckage. The egg quickly hatches to reveal an alien dinosaur. Due to the Earth&#39;s atmosphere, the newly hatched alien dinosaur rapidly increases in size. The dinosaur turns its attention towards a railway township, which it attacks, causing great destruction. The alien dinosaur sees a water tower, which it commences to climb. The continued affect of Earth&#39;s atmosphere on the alien dinosaur makes the creature burn, destroying it. An alien dinosaur attacks a small town. DINOSAUR DESTROYER is one in a dozen of short horror films made by child filmmaker Donald F. Glut back in 1959. This one&#39;s a kaiju tribute in which a poorly-animated dinosaur lays waste to a toy city before meeting its match. The film benefits from crude stop motion effects and a good sense of fun and amusement that makes it a nice little watch, and there are enough references to B-cinema to delight fans. It&#39;s nice to see Glut going back to his roots after spending a couple of years shooting Universal horror film tributes exclusively. Dinosaur Destroyer (1959) <br/><br/>*** 1/2 (out of 4) <br/><br/>Extremely creative and entertaining amateur movie from Donald Glut. A spaceship crashes on Earth and an egg rolls out and soon out hatches an alien dinosaur, which soon goes on a rampage. Fans of the monster movies from the 1950s are really going to enjoy the mood and downright pleasure this short gives off. There&#39;s no question that the kid behind the camera has a passion for all things monsters and this jumps off the screen so vividly you can&#39;t help but wish many of the filmmakers at major studios and places like AIP during this era hadmuch love for their craft. Yes, the special effects are rough but I was still very impressed with how they ended up looking. Just take a look at the stop motion effects for when the dinosaur is walking or trying to bring a building down. Yes, the edits are very obvious but this is an amateur movie after all. There&#39;s a very good sequence inside a kid&#39;s bedroom where we get to see comics from this period, a Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine and a RODAN poster. All nice touches and these images certainly contain some great value of horror history. If you&#39;re a fan of the monster movies from this era then this here is a must see.
