There aren't many people here, but this bunker needs more content. Post something interesting that doesn't fit into other threads.

>alternate title 
Maybe. Do you know of any other monster movies featuring giant cicadas? I'm also wondering if it wasn't originally released in English especially since Dio sounds like a Spanish name. I think it would be "Hombres cigarras de la luna"?

Not anything that seem close to Cicada Men from the Moon. I found a few modern ones, Cicada! and The Attack of the Giant Cicada from Outer Space, which clearly aren't it.  There's also The Beast Within from 1982, which seems to feature a cicada monster, but that's definitely not it either.

I was thinking it might be an Italian movie. I knew there was the goombah gangster Johnny DIo, although I just looked it up and his real surname was actually "Dioguardi." It doesn't seem like "Dio" is a very common last name. 

I wonder if anyone at the Classic Horror Film Board would know anything about the movie. A lot of those people seem have encyclopedic knowledge of those kind of movies. You'd think there would at least be some search engine results from the site bringing up a mention of it if that were the case though.

Maybe it's not a real movie, but the picture sure could pass as a real VHS screenshot of a '60s B-movie. It's not detailed, so it's also hard to tell where it was shot. With that arid-looking environment it could have been in Western U.S. or Southern Europe.

This whole thing is strange.

>(I wasn't impressed by this film)
It was one of the first i saw when i started my film journey and i agree that it wasn't impressive at all other than the car chase which actually felt underwhelming initially after being hyped as the best thing. Later on i have to say the cinematography is pretty decent, the use of natural light and cool chiaroscuro in gloomy settings did stuck but i didn't appreciate it that much back then.
But the acting and story weren't that great, who knows how it got an Oscar in one of the most competitive eras of Hollywood, i dare to say the other Friedkin movies were more compelling.

Honestly the "Americans Worship..." copypasta is becoming less of a hyperbole satire and more of a reality, shame on Criterion but i am not surprised seeing how they got co-opt by the mental minority-appeasing tactics
