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.

Bud, in Tolkiens middle Earth Ents are animated conscious trees. They save the Hobbits from the Orks!

Who would have known . . . a tree stump with a face is actually the reincarnation of a tribal cheif.

This has got to be one of the worst films I have ever seen. Enjoyed it if for no other reason than it is better than Jerry Spinger or Opra, but PHEW...what a stinker!

Everyone has to see this just once!
