Dave S 09/27/2023 Despite some surprisingly decent production values, solid performances, and better dialogue than you'd expect from a low-budget, 1950s sci-fi movie, Cosmic Monsters turns out to be a bit of a bore. With a threadbare plot involving magnetic fields and their impact on the ionosphere, not much really happens until the mutated monsters make an appearance. However, the special effects, which consist mostly of close-ups of scary salamanders and other garden variety type creatures, are so inadequate that the potential thrills become a major letdown. While it's not as bad of other films of its ilk, it's certainly not the kind of movie that you want to waste time seeking out. See more CodyZamboni 09/21/2023 Movie is plodding, talky, boring , poorly directed, with pretentious characters, and one alien, spouting gibberish. When the giant cockroaches finally show up, movie turns silly, embarrassing, with truly lame and amateurish fx. See more 06/20/2015 Pretty bad British nature-gone-wild sci-fi flick. The main problem with the film is that there is way too much stiff-upper-lip talking and not enough fighting of the giant mutated insects. And even the insect fighting is pretty silly, with the special effects consisting of people running, screaming and shooting at cutaway close-up shots of insects. Not much entertainment value here, even on a camp level. See more 07/12/2011 not a great british creature feature from late 50s. the set up is dull and eventuall invasion, not to mention various things throughout. See more 06/09/2011 lame schlochy b movie drive-in ware with not scarey monsters and radiation! See more Read all reviews
