Down Inside You're Dirty

The 1959 monster movie Terror in the Midnight Sun is notable by almost no standards anyone would care to use. It’s fairly well-shot, given the budget and the timeframe (the B&W is expressive and director Virgil Vogel makes good use of screen space) but it’s criminally low-watt all the way, with dialogue standing in for drama and a monster that doesn’t even show up until minute 50 of this 70-minute feature.

And yet, I’ll remember it until I die, because it has one thing going for it, one thing that I did not expect and never would have thought to expect. It’s… well, just see for yourself.
