In some ways, this plays out like an old RKO Pictures monster movie. Same kind of feeling, soundtrack, and plotline, same very earnest characters. The monster effects are homespun to be sure, and amounts to a rubber crab/fish/man suit, but like Croaked: Frog Monster From Hell, the filmmakers were savy enough not to show us much of the monster until the very end. And you gotta like how they finally dispatched of the monster. I honestly didn’t expect it. Anyway, for some lower-budget 70s monster horror, check it out.
