there be many giant monster film from the 50 . some be terrible . most be good and include this one . yeah and if one be picky they could say the stop motion effect ( from king kong effect man willis obrien ) be not as well do a ray harryhausen or the pacing be a bit slow at time . for the most part and the actor do a credible job although gene evans ( dr. karnes ) overplay his part a bit . there be enough action to sustain interest and the story be pretty good ( if not original ) . this monster just isn not in a talk mood . it not only radioactive but have an electric charge that send out the radiation . there be some decent stock footage as well . if youre a fan of 1950 sci fi film and give this one a try .
