The Giant Gila Monster
1959, English. Directed by Ray Kellogg.
Only Hell could breed such an enormous beast... Only God could destroy it!
A small town in Texas finds itself under attack from a hungry, fifty-foot-long gila monster. No longer content to forage in the desert, the giant lizard begins chomping on motorists and train passengers before descending upon the town itself. Only Chase Winstead, a quick-thinking mechanic, can save the town from being wiped out.
