The Giant Gila Monster
Only Hell could breed such an enormous beast... Only God could destroy it!
Directed by Ray Kellogg
Produced by Hollywood Pictures Corporation
A campy 1950s creature-feature about a giant lizard terrorizing a small Texas town, blending B-movie monster thrills with earnest small-town heroism and period charm.
A small town in Texas finds itself under attack from a hungry, fifty-foot-long gila monster. No longer content to forage in the desert, the giant lizard begins chomping on motorists and train passengers before descending upon the town itself. Only Chase Winstead, a quick-thinking mechanic, can save the town from being wiped out.
