Viewing Notes
Based on H.P. Lovecraft’s short story, “The Colour Out of Space”, Die Monster Die! is a fairly proficient gothic horror that manages to get a lot out of a pretty small budget. The sets look great and the lighting is especially effective here. It’s difficult to tell this is even an AIP film!
Boris Karloff was pretty crippled by arthritis by this point in his life, which explains why his character is wheelchair-bound during most of the movie.
Nick Adams also gives a pretty decent performance as the straight-forward square-jawed protagonist.
