It gets pretty annoying by the

The way this film makes a monster turn into a misunderstood monkey for the viewer with not even one single dialogue is just amazing. A true all time classic and a must-see for sure. 8 years 1 month ago -

Frighteningly ahead of its time? Yes. Groundbreaking Special effects? Yes. Boring and uninvolving? Sadly, yes. 9 years 1 month ago
