pilot mitch macafee ( jeff morrow ) see a ufo while test fly a plane but nothing show up on radar . then plane and ship start disappear and report of a ufo increase . it turn out it a giant monster bird that be attack and kill . but what be it and why be it here . this have all the right element for a classic . it have an actually pretty entertaining script i be never really bore . the acting be good ( for a 1950s monster movie ) . morrow doesn not overdo the macho hero act and mara corday be quite good a the requisite female love interest . she also strong and take care of herself even though she be off get food and coffee for everyone all during the movie . the problem here be the monster . dear god it terrible . it look like a deranged turkey . it have a long neck and a hilariously stupid beak and some teeth and a few strand of hair on it head and claw . and oh yes it squawks . not roar squawk . the actor have no idea what it look like it be add after production . actor morrow and corday be horrify when they finally saw it in a theatre . morrow say his audience burst out laughing and he leave the theatre quickly before the movie end . producer sam katzman be responsible for this . he want to save money and give the world the stupid monster ever . and you can see the wire move it too . this get 4 star only because morrow and corday be so good and the script be well do . it get no star for the pathetic monster wait till you see it attack what be obviously a toy train . worth a look if youre a horror fan to see what have to be the stupid monster ever .
