\The Film Detective has provided us with the final details for its upcoming Special Edition of Kenneth G. Crane's film Monster From Green Hell (1957), starring Jim Davis, Robert Griffin, Joel Fluellen, Barbara Turner, and Eduardo Ciannelli. The release will be available for purchase on March 8.
Official description: From the era of giant bugs and atomic testing comes this low-budget howler about mutant wasps. When scientists try to understand the effects of radiation on earth creatures, the result brings them to an area of Africa known as "Green Hell," where wasps have mutated into monsters!
Jim Davis, who later starred in the TV series Dallas, plays Dr. Quent Brady, the scientist who starts the whole mess. The film also stars Vladimir Sokoloff (The Life of Emile Zola, Mission to Moscow) as the skeptical Dr. Lorentz and Joel Fluellen (Raisin in the Sun) as Arobi, who warns Brady to beware of the African location. The locals don't call it "Green Hell" for nothing! Monster From Green Hell was co-written by Louis Vittes, famed writer of the classic I Married a Monster From Outer Space.
