Ernest Dickerson on

Caltiki, The Immortal Monster

Released 1960
Distributor Allied Artists Pictures

Described in ads as a “Slimy Glob of Doom”, this large economy-size micro-organism found in a Mayan temple out-slithers The Blob. Directed by Italy’s Riccardo Freda, in collaboration with DP-turned-first time director Mario Bava. Formerly a staple of late-nite TV Creature Features, this one has been hard to see in recent years but is now available as a packed-with-extras Blu ray from Arrow.
