Viewing Notes

Wow I saw this title pop up when I was making my guesses but it was one that so many ppl had seen (in general) that I didn’t expect it to be correct. The hint:

“Fun 1960s creature feature from south of the border”

I guessed Rider of the Skulls, having recently seen it. tbh I’m shocked I have not seen Brainiac bc it’s always included in a lot of those mega-movie cheapie sets, IIRC. I earmarked it to watch but now I’ve seen it! Fun movie that looks amazing with this new transfer, which I guess was released by Indicator?
