During my run this morning, I managed to roll my ankle on a rock and while this event has absolutely no direct correlation to this thread, the incident had served as the catalyst to conjure up a recollection of another wonderful movie. The rock was immediately dispatched into nearby pool of water.
At the moment of contact with water the “The Monolith Monsters” came to mind.
Released in 1957, the Monolith Monsters adopts the concept of the classic rogue meteorite that slams into earth. In this case the meteorite, composed mostly of iron, is somehow transformed, upon contact with water, into towering monoliths of obsidian. Humans too are transformed into stone if they contact the monolith.
This is a gem.
