What are the best 50's monster kino?

>>82397002
will this be part of the Monster Cinematic Universe?

Who should direct? I suggest Inarritu

>>82397341
If there is going to be a remake

What is the point of making it in any decade other than 50s?

It will be like all those remakes of invasion of body snatchers. The original conservative fear for communist invasion would be replaced with liberal fear for government surveillance and mainstream assimilation and war on terror

Oh, and Night of the Demon. That's a genuine horror classic, and not just a so-bad-it's-good fun monster movie.

Id hope it would be set in the fifties too. Would be more enjoyable and give an interesting backdrop for a modern film.

Though i don't know if a modern director could do it justice without making it a "tongue in cheek" type of film where they goof on the 1950s (hah look how white and square these people are XD )

>mean while in Japan

Okay I cheated this one is from '65 because 50s are all "solemn serious Hokies original"

>tongue in cheek
No one does parody anymore. It would be generic and gritty, the main character would be a army grunt with father issues, and there would be headache inducing cgi mayhem. .

Neither the original nor the remake had a political message. The director himself said people saw in it what they wanted. He just made a monster film.

Nice meme gene, reddit. Nothing like watching the same attack of the giant meme rehashed countless times.

Strangely how Japan made movies even back in 50s

>Despite a general agreement among film critics regarding these political connotations of the film, actor Kevin McCarthy said in an interview included on the 1998 DVD release that he felt no political allegory was intended. The interviewer stated that he had spoken with the author of the novel, Jack Finney, who professed no specific political allegory in the work. DVD commentary track, quoted in Feo Amante's homepage.[23]

>In his autobiography, I Thought We Were Making Movies, Not History, Walter Mirisch writes: "People began to read meanings into pictures that were never intended. The Invasion of the Body Snatchers is an example of that. I remember reading a magazine article arguing that the picture was intended as an allegory about the communist infiltration of America. From personal knowledge, neither Walter Wanger nor Don Siegel, who directed it, nor Dan Mainwaring, who wrote the script nor original author Jack Finney, nor myself saw it as anything other than a thriller, pure and simple."[24]

But the remakes are clearly political

Besides I doubt the original was really that innocent.
