Sorry, this movie sucks

A Masterpiece!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Legion of Terror has all the trademarks of the "B" film it was, although with an unusual plot. The film was produced at the cost-conscious Columbia studio, and shot in three weeks. The 63 minute Legion of Terror employed talent of considerable lesser quality than benefited Outcast, individuals who were assigned more for the fact that they were under contract (such as director C.C. Coleman) than for the particular talent for the task at hand. Legion of Terror portrays a town where a "Hooded Legion" has taken full control, including the local newspaper. Government investigators, led by Bruce Cabot, go undercover as factory workers and are able to join the group to discover the men who run it. After one man who tried to protest is killed, the National Guard is brought in to arrest the legion members, and the group's leaders are burned to death when their car overturns. The movie includes a warning that Americans are such "joiners" that they are easily liable to be exploited by such organizations as the legion--or the KKK. Legion of Terror (scripted by Bert Granet) was based on the same incident, the unmasking of the Detroit Black Legion, that formed the basis for Warner's better-remembered Black Legion –although Columbia's Legion of Terror was actually made a year earlier.
