From Hell It Came(1957)On a remote South-Sea island a tribal prince is killed by a witch doctor for making friends with the nearby American expedition providing medical care while they research nuclear fallout. Before his death, the prince swears revenge and returns from the grave as a giant tree-like monster bringing death to the prince's enemies (and anyone else who gets in the monster's way). For more about From Hell It Came and the From Hell It Came Blu-ray release, see From Hell It Came Blu-ray Review published by Michael Reuben on April 23, 2017 where this Blu-ray release scored 1.5 out of 5. Director: Dan Milner Writers: Richard Bernstein, Jack Milner Starring: Tod Andrews, Tina Carver, Linda Watkins, John McNamara, Gregg Palmer, Robert Swan Producers: Jack Milner, Richard Bernstein, Byron Roberts » See full cast & crew From Hell It Came Blu-ray, Video QualityFrom Hell It Came was shot by Brydon Baker, who enjoyed a long and successful career as director of photography for the cut-rate Westerns and monster movies produced by the second string studios collectively known as "Poverty Row". For this 1080p, AVC-encoded Blu-ray from the Warner Archive Collection, a fine-grain master positive was scanned at 2K by Warner's Motion Picture Imaging facility, followed by the usual color-correction and cleanup. The result cannot transcend FHIC's limited budget (or transform it into a good film), but within the limits of the source, the Blu-ray offers a crisply detailed black-and-white image that allows the viewer to revel in the often amusing cheapness of the sets and costumes, many of which look like they were purchased for Halloween. (Even in B&W, it's obvious that every outfit worn by a native was machine-manufactured rather than handmade.) The standout scenes feature the Tabanga itself, whose gnarled and knotty bark is a fascinating study in form battling function, since it has to be both intimidatingly solid, yet flexible enough for an actor to walk while wearing it. Blacks are solid, shades of gray are finely rendered and contrast is strong. WAC has mastered FHIC with it usual high average bitrate, here 34.997 Mbps, and even with that generous allotment of space, the 71-minute film fits comfortably on a BD-25. From Hell It Came Blu-ray, Audio QualityFHIC's original mono audio has been taken from the magnetic master and encoded on Blu-ray in lossless DTS-HD MA 2.0. The same low-budget origins that are evident in the visuals are apparent here as well, with underwhelming sound effects and limited dynamic range. Still, the dialogue is always clear (and, in a few instances, the ADR is obvious), and the score by Darrell Calker, a ballet composer turned "B" movie staple, provides unintentional comedy, accompanying the ridiculous proceedings onscreen with deadly serious instrumentals.
