From Hell It Came (eventually)

The Svengoolie movie this week was a ridiculous evil tree film though it only killed the three people who murdered the native prince who ultimately gave birth to it. It was basically a revenge monster; it also went after the lady scientist that helped to keep it alive but that basically just opened up a "shot" to end things. And, the natives now were willing to trust American medicine now that the evil tree defeated the evil medicine man. Tad ironic.

The film was silly but watchable though it took a while before the tree "came" anywhere. The ridiculous nature of the whole thing -- including the final bit where the natives decided to accept the Americans and the "blooming onion" man hungry white comedy relief -- helped the slow spots. 1950s films like this makes me again challenge the idea Plan Nine From Outer Space was somehow the "worst film ever." Ed Wood Jr. could easily make this film.
