Why do I watch this junk?
7 July 2005
Okay, I buy this disc for a couple of bucks and stay up late watching it. My girlfriend leaves me about 15 minutes into it asking, "Why do you watch this junk?".

Yeah, a crawling eyeball with dumb-looking tentacles is pretty stupid, but I got a kick out of it. Why did it decapitate everyone? I mean, it could have just frozen em all. They all should have saved one to keep around for a hot day eh!.

Seriously, this movie was not much. The eyeball monster was crappy and incapable of scaring a 2-year-old. Acting was pretty bad too. The story was a little better than most sci-fi of that era though. At least the plot didn't stray off into unrelated drama and personal issues.

My version of this movie is called "The Trollenberg Terror." I don't know if there are any differences between it and "The Crawling Eye." I like the title "The Crawling Eye" better though. Seems more catchy.

Anyhow, for the amusement factor, whether "Eye" or "Terror", it was worth watching for me. Really die hard sci-fi fans probably can handle this one. Otherwise, you may want to pass.

Now, if you're an eyeball monster movie fan, check out "It Came From Outer Space." That was a decent movie and actually worthy of a remake.
