This movie is a fun angle of where this series resolutes. I have been a fan of the original noting its mysterious allure of the exotic locales which I always like exotic locales thinking of the Universal monster series' this is probably next to Dracula in my favorite of the series's, being drawn to these type of exotic elements which the subconscious reveals all interests by what draws (admittedly I have not checked the other Universal series's except for Frankenstein original/Bride and that is it.) Then the sequel was on the Mystery science theater 3000 as the first episode when the show goes to the Scifi channel, so this is TOTALLY science fiction confirmed and starring Agar who is a 50s/60s scifi star so already the series is drawing big names to it. This movie now I am thinking "this better be innovative and I sense it is that will take me to interesting places." Immediately the stars are the two guys from the epic Island Earth movie just before, spectacle, and so this is the hint the series is a big deal even in the resolute.
One conversation between the two in this shows a lesson as they say humans are disloyal/hate to those who are loyal/love unlike animals who are the same with how they are treated they will treat the same in return until the one character is just being pleasant, not being argumentative just questioning this person's statement aloofly until the character arrives with words of clarity that humans do deal with this but will go to lengths of evil to try to solve it while animals do not have this aspect which is next level thought process.
I have come upon a revelation about science fiction movies that it is wholly and utterly an American dominion nearly as much as the Western is because the 50s scifi boom begins conveniently squarely in '50 with the Destination/Rocketship moon movies, and the only other comparable are Italy (which just being their first scifi flick under Margheriti's direction around '60, not being notable, just the novelty of being the country's first of this 50s/60s era and the dir. would go onto wider acclaim with other genres), and Japan which only keeps with the "Kaiju" series of big monsters.
Some recompense for the rest of the globe of this utter genre dominion is that the bulk of all these 50s/60s scifis are actually horror movies with some scifi trimmings. I reallze this when all my favorite moments from these movies are actually the scary instances, nothing to do with any science theorizing which act as just sort of trimmings for allure sake.
