Sound of Horror
Rating:  -
I cannot complain about this Alpha DVD, nor this film itself. Allow me to explain.
1) There is no other copy available at this time.
2) The average quality of the print is worth more than I paid for it.
3) Ingrid Pitt.
4) A good, suspensefull, unique plot.
5) The actors do a good job.
6) Still good after all these years.
7) Soledad Miranda
8) The dub is just fine.
9) If the original foreign film surfaced, it would be even better.
Watch it for yourself, you'll see.

This is an underated movie...mostly because the cinematography is poor..
But it is a very scary premise; what's scarier than a man eating dinosaur come back to life? An INVISIBLE man eating dinosaur...(well it doesn't really eat them, but it may as well have!)
The scream this thing makes will make a chill go down your spine....if that doesn't, the deceptively happy sounding bells that chime when the monster is coming....or the shuffling sound of it's footsteps as it approaches....will.
One important note; you will need an imagination for it!

This is a really cool movie. It involves a prehistoric monster which remains invisible through most of the movie.
The monster gives off a really cool sound.
Ingridd Pitt and this other gal do some really great dancing. This alone is worth buying the movie.
This is reminiscent of the famous Johnny Quest episode 'The Invisible Monster' (Johnny Quest and Spiderman 1967 original series are out on dvd now).
Catch Ingrid in 'The Vampire Lovers' and the world war 2 adventure 'Where Eagles Dare' with Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton.

So what have we learned here? Well, if you're going to go spelunking for treasure, you might want to bring along several huge bags of flour, destroy anything that even looks like a calcified dinosaur egg, and - for heaven's sake - come packing some guns and ammo. And, while bringing along a gorgeous young woman is of course optional, I would highly recommend it.
It's true that Sound of Horror is a really cheesy horror film, riddled with many little things it is easy to ridicule (I guarantee you'll laugh at one point during the climactic moments), yet it's well worth watching. This is a Spanish film from 1965, but the English dubbing is really quite good. It seems there's a treasure of ancient Greek and Roman artifacts buried in a cave in Greece, and only our little group of treasure hunters have the map detailing its location. The first guys on the scene find an egg-shaped rock and an ancient mummy, and that only goes to fuel the local housekeeper's talk of the curse on that particular cave. Eventually, after the rest of the fellows arrive, they think they've found the spot of the treasure - and that's when the deaths begin. There is a deadly monster lurking within the caves - an invisible monster with a heavy limp and a high-pitched ululating voice that sends shivers down these brave men's spines. It's hard to get too excited about an invisible monster, but it's certainly more effective than trotting out some guy in a rubber suit. (I should note that, for reasons I can't explain, the filmmakers do superimpose - for just a quick second - a monster image onto the screen on a couple of occasions, but this hardly counts and actually does more harm than good.) As characters start getting picked off one by one, things get more intense until the remaining survivors finally figure out a way to go on the offense against something they can't see. Their plan leads to one unforgettably campy scene you won't want to miss.
Perhaps the biggest reason to see this film, though, is the presence of the legendary Soledad Miranda in one of her earlier roles. Her Greek dancing is not exactly a must-see, but she's a beautiful actress who died much too young (at the age of 27), right when she was on the verge of becoming an international star. Miranda is best known for her starring roles in a number of Jess Franco classics (including Count Dracula and Vampyros Lesbos) - I think she can justifiably be looked upon as the queen of Spanish horror during the 1960s.

Well, let me begin telling that I saw that movie when I was barely 8/10 years old. I saw it in spanish in a spanish small village's cinema. I did it with my brothers and it scared the hell out of us. Now 35 years later I've been triyng to find this movie until today. I bought it a few days ago in Amazon. I thought that it would be in spanish with english subtitle but it's not. Tell me it it does exist in spanish, please. I would like to show it to my children and they still don't understand english as well as I do.
Well. It was scary then, and now I don't get surprised and scared as I was in the sixties. Anyway something moved in my stomach and my mind, probably the memories of that kind of movies you see as child and you never forget.
