*Spoiler/plot- Giant from the Unknown, 1958. A criminal group of Spanish conquistadors leave their mark with local mountain Indians. During present day, scientists wish to find out about the Spanish, unfortunately several mysterious deaths occur near the burial ground of the Spanish and Indian tribe. Police and scientists try to solve crimes and find artifacts.

*Special Stars- Bob Steele, Ed Kemmer, Sally Fraser, Morris Ankrum, Buddy Bear.

*Theme- Evil is often not buried with a evil person's bones.

*Trivia/location/goofs- B & W. Filmed at Big Bear, California. The giant falls over and breaks the bridge railing and later shot shows the railing not broken. The giant grabs the girl from the Jeep by pushing the passenger seat forward. How would a Spanish soldier from the 15th century know to do that instead of crossing to the driver's side and grabbing her out.

*Emotion- A memorable film plot and excellent production elements for the viewer. The acting and direction of the plot builds tension, suspense, and wonder on how the film will turn out. This is an excellent film of the time and still manages to entertain even today.
