An American adventure film produced and directed by W. Lee Wilder.
A botonist and his photographer go on an expedition in the Himalayas and struggle with their native guides for control of the mission. They eventually capture a yeti and return to America. The yeti escapes and the police try to catch it.
Such a lame and stale plot! Trecherous native guide, monster in the sewer, whatever. The characters were as stereotypical as the plot and the style was bland. Not only that, but the monster is never clearly shown. At least the pacing was a little better than the last few shit-flicks. This type of movie doesn't require a long explanation. I rate it bad. You probably shouldn't watch it.

An unidentified object is seen flying and disappears in California. Radio disturbances are tracked in that area and some people are found who have been attacked by a being in a suit. The FCC then tracks the radio disturbances to find the person in the suit, assuming that the two things are connected. They corner the suit person, who strips and the FCC take the suit away for testing. Now naked and invisible, the suit person tries to get the suit back and scares a lab assistant as the FCC tries to capture this unknown being.
This is pretty standard fare for a '53 science fiction film. The audio and video weren't bad. The plot and characters could be followed. However, it lacked any type of style or substance. It seems like it was made just to make a movie and no real thought was put into it. To quote reviewer, Glenn Erickson, the director "hit his groove of incompetence" with this film. Erickson also cites "Endless talky scenes". I rate it poor for being so dismally mediocre.
An American science fiction film directed and produced by W. Lee Wilder, starring Peter Graves.
A scientist is missing during a nuclear test. Upon his return, he is acting weird, steals military documents and crashes his car in the area of the test. When he is drugged at the hospital, he tells a story of alien abduction and the aliens' plans to take over the Earth. Nobody believes him and they treat him as a mental patient.
This is about how I feel all the time. I know the aliens want to kill us and see clear evidence that their plan is working. When I tell anyone, the ideas are dismissed as rumors and hoaxes regardless of how much evidence that is in plain view that I site. Good luck checking Facebook from within a mass grave! We have different aliens in the "real world" and they have different plans. I wish that the solution were as simple as in this film. The audio was amazingly clear and free of dead air hiss for the date and the video looked alright, if pretty standard. The closeup shots of spiders and lizards did not convince me that they were giant, even with the actor standing in front. This scene was my favorite not because of the giant creepy crawlies idea, but because I like nature photography. Obviously, I liked the plot and thought that the characters displayed a realistic response to the conflict. I liked this film more for the ideas than the actual movie itself. I rate it adequate for giving me a good example to type about.
