an evil lethal bright orange yellow fireball come to earth and go on a rampage in a remote lakeside area while the flaming thing roll over various hapless folk and reduce them to ash . it up to nerdy scientist dr. iane thorne ( blandly play by marvin howard ) to figure out a way to stop it before it too late . writer or director harry essex and who also write the script for the classic 50 fright feature it come from out space and the creature from the black lagoon and puke forth a 50 style micro budget clunker that boast all the necessary bad movie vice to qualify a a real four star stinker represent the flat acting from a lame no name cast ( flash in the pan 70 drive in flick starlet maria de aragon in particular just take up space a fetch love interest heroine jeanne ) and sluggish pacing and rag editing and rough and grainy cinematography by robert caramico and meander narrative and a roaring and overwrought score by robert freeman and several ludicrous touch ( the fireball stalk people before it kill them . ) and and a hackneyed it ain not over yet . end all combine together to create one laughably lousy and leaden lump of a total stiff . only doug deswick surprisingly nifty special effect manage to impress . a shamefully unsung crud anti classic .
