Featured review
Horror film pulp
I saw this movie at a drive-in theater back in the late 60's, back when I was eight to ten years old. It was part of a double-feature, with the other movie being, "The Deadly Bees." Now of course, I recognize both as lame, however, back then, when I was young, "The Vulture" scared the crap out of me. My brother, whom I shared a room with, delighted in "tapping" on our bedroom window, after we went to bed for weeks following seeing the movie and I had countless nightmares. That same brother was always thought of as "Mr. Innocent." Little did anyone else know! In any case, I now love the movie, mainly as a memory, but also for the stills that were taken promoting it. The image of those giant talons on the shoulders of a female victim are so stupendously phony looking, they're hilarious. They look like something made out of Styrofoam and fiberglass, immovable and unable to grasp anything. I'm sure the movie-makers and participants intended better, but this movie is not horrifying, just horrible. Still, if you ever find it being shown somewhere, invite a young child you're not particularly fond of to watch it, then tap on his/her bedroom window after he/she goes to bed!
