★★★★★ · John Agar extravaganza! · EzzyLovesClassicMovies · 2023-05-30
Thank you for the colorization of another of my fave 'guilty pleasures' 1950s Sci-Fi. John Agar's wacky scenery-chewing performance as a guy taken over by an evil brain from outer space is lots of fun.

Another one of my favorite 1950s sci-fi movies! You should always think twice before going to a place called Mystery Mountain!

Spoiler: I bring this to your attention for YouTubers get this movie wrong. Their thumbnail titles imply only one alien but actually there are two. A criminal and a law enforcement officer. I gave the three stars that as a kid, I'm 79 now, this movie did startle me some, and it is colorized, as a purists, I hate colorized.
