	* BadMovieMarathon "Summer of Lovecraft", ([https://badmoviemarathon.wordpress.com/2015/06/23/die-monster-die-1965 link]) - "The film has all the hallmarks of a sub-standard horror of its age, trying to make up for a plodding plot with overwrought music."		* BadMovieMarathon "Summer of Lovecraft", ([https://badmoviemarathon.wordpress.com/2015/06/23/die-monster-die-1965 link]) - "The film has all the hallmarks of a sub-standard horror of its age, trying to make up for a plodding plot with overwrought music."
			* Richard Scheib at the Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review (2/5 Stars) ([http://moria.co.nz/horror/die-monster-die-1965-monster-of-terror.htm link]) - "Daniel Haller succeeds in building reasonable atmosphere out of cliche elements – hostile villagers, a big brooding mansion, unearthly screams in the night, mysterious hooded figures. There are some moments of genuine horror... In the end though, ''Die, Monster, Die!'' is not much more than a routine monster movie that plods to a predictable end and achieves nothing on any level other than the patently obvious.
	* [[User:Ywhateley]]: A fairly faithful, if dull, adaptation of "[[The Colour Out of Space (fiction)]]"; the usual suspects have been tacked onto the original story (a romantic subplot, a modern update with setting transplant to England, a house burning down at the end, etc.) to pad the story and add drama. Could be fairly kid-friendly, though more sensitive children might require parental guidance (the mutants and disintegrating or decaying people might be a little upsetting to some children). It's reasonably faithful to the source material, I rather enjoyed the mutant menagerie and found the sets and effects crude but atmospheric and effective, and poor [[Boris Karloff]] tends to elevate the quality of anything he is involved in, but this film can otherwise be a bit cold, creaky and tedious to watch (one wonders if perhaps Roger Corman might have added some life to a film like this....)		* [[User:Ywhateley]]: A fairly faithful, if dull, adaptation of "[[The Colour Out of Space (fiction)]]"; the usual suspects have been tacked onto the original story (a romantic subplot, a modern update with setting transplant to England, a house burning down at the end, etc.) to pad the story and add drama.
