Today’s Weekend Fright Flick is a giant-monster mini-epic that features some unique beasts and which ranges from the prehistoric past to a technological future. Made as a senior film project by director Brian Engh, it is another great example of what can be done with will, talent and imagination without the aid of a signifiucant budget.<\/p>\n
