Sadly to say I am one of only 489 people who bought this disc, and that is terrible considering this is a very well made throwback to 50's monster movies. A weird monster consisting of mutated sea life and sludge comes ashore and begins feeding on people in the Venice Beach canal area of California.
The monster is a very welcome man in a rubber suit and I say that because I am sick of all the crappy CGI effects in movies today. Give me an old fashioned monster any day!! This film has been on VHS before but it never looked this good. The folks at Code Red painstakingly rematered this from the long lost negative of the film.
Code Red does a consistantly good job of releasing obscure movies to DVD and I hope things get better for them as they are one of the better companies out there.
This is a highly recommended movie and I urge you to by it and support one of the last small labels.
For lovers of movies from the silent era to modern day with an emphasis on horror, sci-fi, exploitation, WIP, westerns and anything of the fantastic and bizarre. THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO BOB WILKINS, GEORGE ROMERO, ALAN FREED ,ROGER CORMAN, CAROLINE MUNRO, JOHN FREDRIKSEN, JOHN ZACHERLE, CLEO MOORE , ROSALBA NERI, ERIKA BLANC, FEMI BENUSSI, SHIRLEY CORRIGAN, ROSANNA YANNI, MIRTA MILLER and, of course, CASEY KASEM.
