The Tru-Stereo Process (3-D) utilized here is easy on the eyes, coming across clearly at all times. To the picture's credit no 3-D gimmicks were employed. Go to Full Review

Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 Mar 28 Considering to be one of the worst movies ever made and for good reason. Even by 50s B science fiction movies this is the bottom of the barrel even for the low standards of cheesy horror movies See more 08/05/2024 It's so bad its so good! See more Philip H 09/30/2022 Let's get one thing straight: speaking from a strictly objective point of view, this is not a good movie. It's inept and nonsensical with a terrible script, a ridiculous villain and a final plot twist so hackneyed it might as well be full of taxi cabs. Subjectively, however, I BLOODY LOVE THIS FILM. It's got a bizarre charm to it, and the titular villain has an actual character arc which is superior to that of the super-bland human characters. It never fails to make me smile. See more brent g 09/04/2022 I'm surprised that by now nobody has figured out how to make a rating system suitable for movies that are rated based on how humorously bad they are. I'm going by "must see", and certainly not giving it five stars due to its quality. But not everyone likes bad movies. To be fair, I can still laugh at the Three Stooges. The movie has a bit of a stretch where you are almost guaranteed to fall asleep for boredom. Normally this would disqualify it from five stars for badness. But then again, one doesn't rate the Red Lobster badly for having to wait in a long line to get into it. The bad parts are bad enough to make up for it. Anyway, you might want someone to give you a break after seeing that surf-and-turf monster. If you're not into bad movies, flip the coin to the other side and you get no stars at all. But true badness isn't merely found in things that are so bad that you are repelled by them before they're over. True badness makes you stick around long enough to get the full dose.
