From Hell It Came is just the usual, and crappy, horror/fantasy that came out of the 1950s with cheap effects, bad acting and an all around lousy story. I suppose if you’re into that era, this might be worth picking up.

PLOT SYNOPSIS
|
| On a remote South Seas island, no one is safe from this hideous – and unique – monster. Tabonga is part man, part tree, all doom. Formerly an island prince, he was unjustly put to death by a witch doctor. Now he’s returned to life with roots, branches and a vengeance. Against natives. Against visiting American scientists who investigate the tree’s radioactive green sap. Against anyone unwise enough to expect a tree to stay put. |
SPECIAL FEATURES – 0.5/5 |
| Theatrical Trailer (1:56; HD) |
VIDEO – 4.0/5, AUDIO – 3.0/5
|
| From Hell it Came debuts on Blu-ray through Warner’s Archive Collection and is presented with a 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. The black and white picture looks pretty good with sharp detail and dark levels fairly stark. Included is a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono track which I found serviceable enough providing clear dialogue levels but there are times it tops out, especially when it came to the 1950s era score. |
OVERALL – 2.0/5 |
|
Overall, From Hell It Came is just the usual, and crappy, horror/fantasy that came out of the 1950s with cheap effects, bad acting and an all around lousy story. I suppose if you’re into that era, this might be worth picking up. The Blu-ray released by Warner offers good video, fine audio but not much in terms of features. |
