Cheesy... but fun
I've always liked this film and saw it when it was first released. Even in 1978 the monsters looked like rubber puppets. Like Doug McClure's other films... more

Nonsense
Some films like this can be fun - 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and even The Land Time Forget. This however is just dull and poor.
