John Sayles on

Beginning of the End

Released 1957
Distributor Republic Pictures

TFH welcomes John Sayles to the ranks of Grindhouse Gurus. This nervy 1957 trailer acts like Bert I. Gordon’s shoestring ripoff of previous giant bug movies is some kind of innovative breakthrough! It does boast two ’50s sci fi icons in the cast (Morris Ankrum and Tom Browne Henry) in their signature roles as tough minded military officers, and became a major component of Joe Dante and Jon Davison’s The Movie Orgy.
