    Pure comedy/sci-fi genius. Cheap, tacky and pretty damn awful. But with lobsters for monsters, people turning into skeletons and of course Grandpa trying to cross the road, it's a forgotten classic.

    One of the great unintentionally hilarious B-movies from the 50s. This one features a teenage alien be terrorised by a giant lobster, or rather the shadow of a regular lobster. Yes, the acting is pretty bad and the effects even worse but if it's laughs your after you can't go wro...( read more)ng.

    Absolutely hysterical!!! If you love old 50's Sci-Fi Movies, this one is great!!! The music is great, the people are so ridiculously naive about everything going on around them. If you want a good laugh, this is it!!!

    It's so bad you cant stop watching it. You can even see it if you get bonuses on Destroy All Humans.

    Half a star for effects ( and trust me thats generous ). Half a star for acting (even more generous ). And 3 stars for making me laugh unintentionally.

    Overall, this was a pretty standard B Grade sci fi movie. The thing I liked about it is that it made an effort not to be in spots. The storyline took a couple bytes from "The Day the Earth Stood Still", which would ordinarily kill a movie for me. With this one, though, they we...( read more)ren't blatant about it, and they did try to make it their own and gave it their own message. The fact that they didn't shove the message down your throat like some of these movies tried to do was what put it over the top for me.

    Of course it was badly acted and over acted in spots, but not as bad as most I've seen. And they seemed to make an effort to keep the special effects to a minimum, concentrating more on the characters and actually having a story.

    Lastly, this is the first movie I've ever seen to use a lobster as the Ginormous Man Eating Monster. Kudos from the Mainah on that one theya. Ayuh!

    This movie had potential, but fell through the cracks. To bad.

    A pretty funny movie. I love old films like this because of the stupidity.

    This is really funny because it is so bad!
    You have to see what happens when people are shot by the alien guns, it's hilarious!
