From the era of giant bugs and atomic testing comes this low budget howler about mutant wasps. When scientists try to understand the effects of radiation on earth creatures, the result brings them to an area of Africa known as "Green Hell," where wasps have mutated into monsters! Jim Davis, who would someday star in the TV series Dallas, plays Dr. Quent Brady, the scientist who starts the whole mess. The film also stars Vladimir Sokoloff (The Life of Emile Zola, Mission to Moscow) as the skeptical Dr. Lorentz, and Joel Fluellen (Raisin in the Sun), as Arobi, who warns Brady to beware of the African location. The locals don't call it "Green Hell" for nothing! Co-written by Louis Vittes, who gave us the classic, I Married a Monster From Outer Space.

Press Quotes

Monster from Green Hell is a swiftly-paced sci-fi thriller that is both entertaining (on many levels) and a great example of how a film production can be made with a modest budget -- borrowing footage and with miniatures -- that delivers the goods, especially for the intended audience of the time.

     —DVD And Blu-ray Release Report

It makes for a truly entertaining pulp/comic book ambience that makes the film truly memorable amongst the deluge of “giant insects run amok” films that filled theaters at the time.

     —DanXIII, Horror Fuel

In closing, there aren’t too many movies that follow a path quite like this one, and that’s what makes it such a novelty to watch.

     —Exclusive Magazine

Some of the stop-motion animation is effective.

     —Vidvues/Tom's Picks, Village Soup

Those who love these movies know that the stories behind the creation of the film are as interesting--sometimes more so--than the films themselves, and the special features included here do not disappoint.

     —Cereal At Midnight

The Film Detective has given it a new life by not only bringing it back into print, but offering a new presentation with the original color finale intact, with a pair of vital and entertaining extras.
