In Reply to: Hey AudioHead, your opinion on "The 4-D Man". posted by TAFKA Steve on May 2, 2000 at 13:51:07:
Can't give you any firm opinion, as I vaguely recall watching it as
a child in the late 1950's, however, my main reference source, "The
Motion Picture Guide", gives it a fairly strong rating: *** out of
*****, commenting that it was a surprisingly well executed sci-fi
film. The authors also said that in 1985, director Tobe Hooper
tread similar ground in the multimillion dollar mess "Lifeforce".
Do you remember watching the Twilight Zone episode, "Little Girl
Lost", scripted by Richard Matheson from his short story of the
same name? I saw that as a kid and never forgot it - the hole in
the wall, the distorted mirror effects of the 4th dimension and
all - similarities in the lost little girl in "Poltergeist".
I've watched several of the old 50's sci-fi stuff on American Movie
Classics, one was "The Crawling Eye", just fair, there was some
suspense, but the dismal special effects blunted my enthusiasm for
the film. Also, "Rodan", which I saw as a child, but being tired, I
fell asleep during most of it. Incidentally, I remember watching
"The Killer Shrews" as a child at the local drive-in theater, if I
remember correctly, the shrews were German Shepards with big saber-teeth and rugs over their bodies, laughable even at my young age.
