The movie that begs to be told where to go.
A South Sea Island native is killed by the tribal chief because he disobeyed a royal command which prohibits contact between the natives and any outsiders -- which, in this case, is a scientific team that comes to the island.
A strange tree grows up from his grave . . . with a nightmare face! The scientists put the monster tree on an operating table and stimulate its heart (a tree with a heart?). The tree starts walking around the island in search of the enemies of the dead native.
A vague reference to atomic bombs is thrown in as an explanation for the walking tree, just to satisfy those nit-picky intellectuals in the audience who question such things. Surprisingly, the walking tree was designed by veteran monster maker Paul Blaisdell. Directed by Dan Miller. _________________ ____________
