    If you are a fan of “Dr. Who” then you might quite enjoy this rather daft latex affair, even if Cornel Wilde is without any swash and buckle this time. This time, he is palaeontologist “Boley” who travels with his daughter “Diana” (Jennifer Salt) to investigate the discovery of a peculiar skull in the Arizona desert. Before they know it, they are under siege from some horned green creatures who have been dormant for centuries and now awakened, are determined not to succumb to the dominance of mankind once again. It’s going to be down to the intrepid “Boley” to see if he can’t broker some sort of amnesty but with both humanity and gargoyle bent on destroying the other, well it’s going to be tough. It can’t have had much of a budget, the visuals are cheap and cheerful and the digitised voices of our jolly green giants isn’t the best, but this is a fun adventure that uses the natural settings of caverns, woods and a tiny log cabin to create a vague sense of menace that uses the light and audio quite imaginatively. If you are a fan of the genre and appreciate just what creativity looked like before programmers took over, then you ought to enjoy this. Aim low, though.

Basilisk: The Serpent King

Two millennia ago, a Lybian king has a basilisk (snake-shaped dragon), which petrifies people, subjected to the same fate with a golden scepter during a solar eclipse. Both these and several victims are dug up by modern archaeologist Harrison 'Harry' McColl's expedition. Despite a cryptic warning from tribal locals, everything goes to his Colorado university's museum. It's all exhibited during another eclipse, which leads to the monster reviving. Harry and some of his friends must try to petrify the monster again.
