A notoriously crap 50s movie due to the poor quality of its special effects. It actually starts off okay for the first 25 minutes - a typical 50s sci fi work with its narration; tough Jeff Morrow (who I kept thinking was Darren McGavin) as a pilot who isn't believed by authorities that he saw a UFO; a rising sense of menace as the UFO causes trouble; Morris Ankrum as an officer.
But then when we see the Creature it's a giant Turkey and sinks the film. The actual structure of the piece is solid - its made with a decent amount of professionalism, I always enjoy seeing Mara Corday in things. It's just so silly.
