This is a 50's gem!! Clarke gives an excellent performance but the character he plays is very hard to side with as he continually brings on his own problems. The reptile costume is very cool.
Patricia Manning is the woman who loves McKenna, but cannot get him to see the error of his ways. Manning is an attractive actress and it would have been nice to see her in more things.
Very low budget but fun with the monster killing cops and killing a rat in a very disgusting scene (gotta love it). Clarke once told people that the reason he looks like he wet his pants in the one scene where the monster terrorizes a group of children is because the costume was extremely heavy and it was pushing 100 degrees outside. Ahh the hazards of low budget filmmaking.
Highly recommended horror film from the late 50's.
