highly recommended

A classic science fiction terror thriller about a weird creature from outer space which survives in the rarefied atmosphere of the Swiss Alps and terrorizes scientists in a remote high-altitude research station. This hideous monster hides in the fog-shrouded cloud of mist and kills its victims by decapitation. As the mysterious cloud descends on the Swiss village of Trollenberg, United Nations science investigator Allan Brooks (Forrest Tucker), Professor Crevett (Warren Mitchell) and a young woman with psychic powers (Janet Munro) must find a way to stop the monster's murderous rampage before it's too late.

The Crawling Eye -atmospheric and fun

One of my favorites. Heavily atmospheric. Forest Tucker and Janet Munro star in this. Also known as the Trollenberg Terror - its about , well , literally a few Crawling Eyes that are ripping the heads off of people or mentally controlling people to go after Janet Munro (she is telepathic and senses them) I have a very special place in my heart for movies like this and will always enjoy a crisp chilling creepy monster movie shot in black and white. This was the very first MST3K experiment on Comedy Central. I can watch this movie either way. It is a low budget movie,but not incompetent at all. Well paced and great photography. HIGHLY recommended.
The DVD from Image is fantastic, widescreen and just a nice clean transfer. Curl up on a nice foggy day with a cup of coffee or tea, lay down , get comfy and watch the Crawling Eye !

Best Of Its Era. Acting More Than Cinematography.

DeForest Kelly (F Troop) Stars is this believable story where aliens inhabit a mountain side in Switzerland. I get more every time I watch it! Its not the monster! Its the buildup. The evacuation, the cold! The mountain climber with no head! Listen to dialog and find out it happened elsewhere!

true classic!

don't make them like this anymore, if you like horror classics, you'll like this one.

Be on the lookout when you're in fog

I'll never look at fog the same again. Especially when giant eyeballs could be hiding in it! Overall this movie is pretty typical of the classic 50's giant monster movies. However, I will give the writer of this one credit for his imagination with the "monster" star of the movie. Giant eyeballs??? Now who would have ever thought that up? It does make you laugh out loud when you see the eyeballs peeking in at the people inside a building, then to see them making their way up the side of the mountain is almost too much for even someone like me, who is a huge fan of these old classic monster movies. Honestly though, the storyline isn't too bad, even though the eyeballs are pretty funny looking. The whole concept is pretty funny, but I loved the movie. The cast wasn't too bad, and of course there is a hero of the show (Forrest Tucker) and a pretty lady who catches his attention. The special affects are nothing like todays standards, but that's what gives them their charm. These classics can't be beat - and this is a definite one to add to your collection if you are a collector.

THE CRAWLING EYE (TROLLENBERG TERROR)

Perhaps because I wasn't expecting too much I was pleasantly surprised to see and enjoy this old film after all these years. I believe I first saw this film on New York television featured on the Million Dollar Movie, and am quite certain that I did not catch this film in the theaters. While not the most memorable film it did include some nice features like the good model work, very fine painted backgrounds and beautiful scenery.

The story held my interest and entertained to the end. The creature effects were accomplished with model work and props supported and animated by wire. Here it suffered a bit but not much more than similar movies filmed within the limitations of a small budget. It is definitely worth a look and gets three stars from me as decent early sci-fi which took advantage of lots of stock footage.
