Caltiki, the Immortal Monster

I have been slowly working my way through Tim Lucas’s All the Colors of the Dark mega-book about Mario Bava. Whenever possible I have been trying to watch the films discussed. Caltiki wasn’t directed by Bava, but features his camerawork and effects. The movie starts out rather slow with a few cool moments when the characters discover the flesh melting blob monster. Things don’t pick up again until the climax when blobs rampage through miniature sets and the flamethrowers come out. Mildly fun, but nothing special.
