Mexican volcanic monster.

First of all let me tell you about my hobby:I love volcanoes.When I was a boy I always wanted to become vulcanologist.I visited three volcanoes so far:Nemrut Dagi in Turkey,Vesuvius in Italy and Mount Tangkuban Parahu in Java,Indonesia.But my dream is to see more."El Monstruo de los Volcanes" is a cheesy Mexican monster movie about some Yeti-like creature living in the volcano's cave.The monster looks extremely funny as it resembles polar bear.There are some atmospheric shots of volcano(Popocatepetl perhaps?)and laughable fight scenes,so if you are into 60's stinky cheese you won't be disappointed.I strongly need to see more horror movies with volcanic monsters.Anyone has some suggestions?6 volcanoes out of 10.
