Audience Member A great movie! I love the music, The Mantis!, the actors, Nathan Juran has made a great movie! 1957 had a lot of monster movies. I kind of recommend to watch this with the Mysterians 1957 but the Mysterians isn’t that great. I love This movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/22/24 Full Review georgan g The mantis in this movie was 200-feet long and looked pretty good for 1957. If you are a creature feature lover, this one is for you. William Hopper plays the scientist. He later was "Paul" (a detective) in the TV series Perry Mason. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
