Film Reviews by JH

Not sure why this film was given the Criterion treatment -- but it looks great on Blu ray. The blob effects are striking, and there are one or two great visual moments, but on the whole this is dire. The monster effects were presumably too expensive and time consuming to produce much of for a low budget b-picture, so the film is largely made up of dull, turgid dialogue scenes. The acting, direction, dubbing is terrible. It's lacks the campy fun of many of the other fondly remembered monster movies of the era.

Avoid!
