Review of Attack of the Giant Leeches

This movie made in 1958/59 has Roger Cormans' signature all over it. It's one of his quickies, however, not one of his best. The leeches are laughable, the acting basically phoned in. However, for a 1958/59 B-movie, on a rainy afternoon, well, it will get you through. I know that there are a lot of flaws in this film, however, remember the time when it was made and this movie was intended as a second feature B- picture. Yvette Vickers, i believe a former playboy model/playmate, is worth the look alone. I know, Roger Corman is usually slammed, in his role as director, as king of the Z pictures, however, he has made a few good ones. "A Bucket Of Blood", "The Pit And The Pendulum", "Tales Of Terror", And "The Haunted Palace", just to name a few. This isn't his best, however....enjoy. I know, I know, Bernard Kowalski, was the director, however, Roger Corman was the executive producer. Please, don't storm my castle. John R. Tracy
