Viewing Notes

Little discovery via Brian Saur / Danny Peary (available in full on YT) and what a delight this is. It’s another spin on The Blob but does something a little more interesting, IMO. The monster is attached to ancient Mayan ruins newly discovered by some treasure hunters. But there is a sweet subplot with one of the explorers injured in the attack that gives this film more depth. Very cool creature feature.
