Turn to Stone
The name of this movie eluded me but I was fortunate enough (I guess) to have seen it once or twice on “Doctor Shock Theatre” that we picked up out of Philly. Looking at some of the stills online, the walking statue is kinda ominous looking. I wouldn’t want to see it following me home. It also looks like a costume the creature wore from the Lost In Space episode, “Wish Upon A Star.” I wish I could remember more about the movie but it’s been too many years since I last saw it. I remember it was supposed to take place in Italy. Written by Jerome Bixby who wrote many stories for episodic TV including the original Star Trek. If you happen upon this gem by all means add your review here.
Interesting though flawed reworking of The Mummy
During an archaeological dig on the site of ancient Pompeii in Italy a box of jewellery is uncovered, quickly followed by what looks like a faceless statue but is in fact the calcified body of a 2,000 year old Roman gladiator. He comes to life and seeks out the reincarnation of his lover. She is an American who happens to be in the area, what are the odds of that happening!!?? Despite his size the police in the Naples area struggle to find the plodding stone man, the plot is rather silly at times. Essentially this movie is The Mummy (1932) but instead of bandages we get stone, and to be fair I found the creature quite good. The movie does have a few suspenseful moments but, like the Faceless Man, it also plods along at times too. Although set in Italy it was filmed in California but the cool European cars did help it look like the Mediterranean. Classic science fiction/horror this most definitely is not but for fans of these genres from this period it is a perfectly watchable 67 minutes.
