I had a great time watching this, in a so bad its good sort of way. Its black & white, from the 50's , low budget, unintentionally funny and filled with wooden acting, plot holes and ridiculous dialogue. At times I couldn't believe what I was seeing, really? This is meant to a horror movie, a tree is walking around killing people. The killer tree costume is cheap and laughable. The fact that a lady scientist is checking the tree stump for a heartbeat is...bizarre.
Story is unique to say the least and follows a wrongfully accused South Seas prince who is executed, but vows revenge and soon returns as a walking, killing tree stump. We also follow a group of scientists and a frisky older widow lady with a terrible Australian accent The tree monster is a mixture of voodoo, radiation (as all 1950's horrors movies were obliged to have) and X39 -a random drug the lady scientist cooked up.
An unintentional comedy bumps the rating up, might even be worth a higher rating because I won't forget about this gem any time soon.
