Love those drooling scorpions
23 July 2018
It's a good thing that this film also didn't include smell. The drool was bad enough. But I would have loved to have been able to smell their breaths. Unbelievably inadvertently hilarious horror flick from the 1950's when monster horror flicks were popular. Mind you I was impressed with the special effects given that this was 1957 and not 2017. In that respect it is even more impressive. No CGI no 3D just plain old special effects from the people that brought you King Kong.

These are monsters that don't want to die. Of course they came as the result of a volcano that blew rather than nuclear mutants a theme that was popular back then. Absolutely hilarious when they grab people and you see their little arms and feet waving about before they are presumably eaten. They attack Mexico City. You are almost cheering for these monsters. The whole thing is a hoot. And of course you have the de rigeur love story in behind. In the end all is well that ends well and the lovers are off to we presume marriage bliss. Them remains the best of the bunch.
