The Horror of Party Beach (100%)

Plot: A highlight among 1950s creature-features, The Monster That Challenged the World is a near-classic B movie that never goes out of style. When an earthquake reveals a nest of giant, prehistoric ...( read more read more... )sea mollusks at the bottom of California's Salton Sea, the local body count skyrockets. Navy lieutenant Twillinger (Tim Holt) takes command, assisting the obligatory scientist (Hans Conreid) while wooing the June Cleaver wanna-be (Barbara Darrow) who inevitably tangles with the monster--a flailing caterpillar-like beastie with snapping mandibles and a voracious appetite. With a moment of vintage gross-out ("Get the eye! Get the eye!"), well-handled suspense, and the requisite balance of tepid romance and sci-fi jargon, this is a prime companion to any film in the atomic-monster lineup. The aging Holt made only two more movies after this (following a thriving career in Westerns), but he gives Monster his best shot and comes up a winner. --Jeff Shannon

    What a horroble title. I guess they can't think up a good title for it. The monsters really have cuty eyes. So sad they died, they were just hungry and overly big that's why they eat human beings.

    One of many entertaining giant monster movies of the Cold War Era 50's generation. If you enjoy these sort of movies, this should be in your collection.
