Really good fun. Corman films took on extra life with female protagonists - this has the bright idea of some viking women going looking for the men who went missing.
They wreck the concept by having Jonathan Haze come along -no slight on him, it's just the film would've been more fun without him.
Corman didn't think the script was great but I feel it's solid - decent conflict with Susan Cabot jealous over Abby Dalton's boyfriend. Gary Conway is in it and Richard Devon and his camp son are entertaining villains. I wish this movie had more money and time - it didn't need the sea creature, the women dealing with the men who've kidnapped their men would be enough.
Strong performances from Abby Dalton and Susan Cabot. They look great in their outfits and it's always moving and there's plenty of action. It's silly but fun.
