Sci-Fi Camp

[Will Layman]

My own favorite piece of science fiction -- for pure pleasure per frame --
is "The Valley of the Gwangi," starring James Franciscus (also the star of
"Beneath the Planet of the Apes," the most creepily 70s of the Ape films).

Franciscus plays Tuck Frias, a cowboy who -- accompanied by a little Mexican
boy, a crusty old geezer and others -- chances upon a hidden valley still
populated by killer dinosaurs.

John Ford meets Jurassic Speilberg -- with a heaping load of Roger Corman
for good measure, it is the best kind of late-night movie.
