Sting of Death (1966)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
A human jellyfish from the ’60s. This is pure trash cinema with gloriously bad effects and all the enjoyable shit that usually accompanies it.

A bullied disfigured man seeks vengeance against the world. There’s also the trope of that one sympathetic woman in his life. His makeup is terrible though – it’s like some personality-dullening cream that wasn’t even properly applied, with portions of his forehead escaping the makeup-artist’s attention.

So there’s this island where a biologist is doing something, while wearing embarrassing shorts. He’s assisted by some dude and the jellyfish guy. Jellyfish lusts after the biologist’s daughter who arrives with her friends. Another obnoxious crowd whom the writer of this trash decided to refer to as ‘young people’ also turns up. Some of them look really old for a bunch of grad students. But that’s relatively a trifling matter. As soon as these young people arrive, they start dancing. Because whenever young people go anywhere, they start dancing. Unfortunately the lot die too soon, and mostly en masse.

Apart from the pleasures of lolling around in garbage, Sting of Death is educational, at least personally. Now I know where Manowar possibly got their name from.

You know, I suspected that creeped out freak Egon all along. Although I have to give this a low rating I actually liked it a lot. Most of the cast look like they came straight out of “Beach Blanket Bingo” (1965), which were the type of movies that were all the rage at that time. The acting is bad and the special effects are even worse, but it captures a moment in time of innocence. It features a standard horror movie type soundtrack and it boasts the first pontoon boat chase in movie history. Valerie Hawkins (Karen) looks a lot like Katy Perry. I’ll give it 2 stars but it should probably be less.

I always though Neil Sedaka was a square but the ska tune “Do The Jellyfish” is great and it reminds me of the English band “The Specials.” Speaking of English bands, at around the 21:00 minute mark in the film there is a disrespectful comment made by one of the female dancers about “The Beatles.” At the time there was considerable backlash because of John Lennon’s “more popular than Jesus” quote.

Some other movies that come to mind after seeing this one are “The Day of the Triffids” (1963) and, one of my favorite, “Them!” (1954) starring James Whitmore about giant ants on the rampage.

Hey EUM guys, I am not requesting anything, but do you have any virus type movies lying around to upload? I am sick of Covid 19, need a different virus to cheer me up. If you do have some, I am hoping it is the one thats been on my mind for a long time, which was one of the sickest examples I have ever seen. ( I will name it if you want to or not if you dont ). Cheers .

I’m just disappointed that nobody treated the stings by pissing on them
