Rating:  - WHAT BIG EYES YOU HAVE!
One of the advantages of being an old fart is that you can look at old movies with an unjaudiced eye. You can appreciate them for what they were/are instead of getting overly concerned about whether or not the special effects are "believable" or whether you can see the zippers in the monster's costume or whether the acting is Oscar worthy or not. In short, you can just watch the movie and have a good time. I've always had a good time with the old movies from the 1950's, and one of the flicks I've ... Read More
Rating: - HARD TO DISLIKE THESE OLD MONSTER MOVIES! THIS IS ON DVD!
I love these old monster films and I know my rating is higher than the film deserves. I do rate it higher in part because of the fantastic print that was released on DVD in a Sci- Fi collection set exclusive to Best Buy. The film itself is a lot of fun and watching a nice clear print on my jumbo home screen made it all that much better! The set also includes Tarantula,The Incredible Shrinking Man,The Monolith Monsters and Monster on Campus! How can you beat that line up! This is a first for all these ... Read More
Rating:  - Fun to watch for its total lack of talent in front of or behind the camera
The Mole People is one of those old sci-fi/horror movies that are fun to watch because of their ineptitude. MST3K did a good job with this particular roll of film when they were on the air. A group of archaeologists accidentally discover a race of people living underground. These people can't stand the light and when they see the scientist's flashlight they believe them to be Gods because they carry light in their cylinder. Only the high priest believes them to be mortal and he spends the movie trying ... Read More
Rating: - Good In It's Own Right
I love it when I hear the "culture set" say they saw films like this on MSTK3000, because that means they never really watched it for the entertainment value it originally had. When I was a kid I caught this on the Saturday Afternoon Movie, and I was enraptured. An ancient civilization of albino fanatics worshipping Ishtar, and it was frankly frightening to a nine year old boy - Mole People that dragged the heros into the ground and killed with long sharp clawed hands, human sacrifices, dark frightening ...

Rating: - Is it on DVD? I hope so.
If this movie isn't on DVD, what a shame! Freaking Bela Legosi's Devil Bat is on DVD and that's a FAR worse film than this.
Before the actual start of The Mole People, a bald English professor tells us about myths, legends, and theories involving what may lie underneath the surface of the globe. Not one of them is even close to being plausible.
After the opening credits we find out the movie takes place in Asia. That's helpful. We see John Agar, Hugh Beaumont, and an old guy who's ... Read More
