After watching this trailer, you may well surmise that I added this as an example of one of the worst movies ever made. On the contrary, this movie once had a major impact on my life. Yes. There are a lot of surf bands playing and kids dancing and carrying on and there is a story line about a leaky, radioactive waste filled barrel in the ocean which interacts with a human skeleton and other sea debris and somehow mutates into one of many absurd, rubber suited sea monsters which walk on two legs. It is the scenes involving the marauding monsters chasing after humans in the dark that terrified me as a child of 9 or 10. Anything can be out there lurking in the dark ready to grab you. This thing gave me nightmares. I’m just saying. A late entry in the cycle of 1950’s monster movies which blamed atomic power related contamination as the culprit in the creation of horrific monster mutations. See “Godzilla”, “Tarantula”, “The Amazing Colossal Man”, etc. Precursor to the equally campy “Humanoids From The Deep” and its reboot.
