3.0 out of 5 stars Also known as "The Strange World of Planet X" (1958), July 2, 2011

This review is from: Cosmic Monsters [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of the three greatest Forrest Tucker Sci-Fi movies along with "The Crawling Eye" (1958) and "The Abominable Snowman" (1957).

The classic Sci-fi where the mad scientist experiments with nature to everyone's peril and possibly demise. Messing with the earth's magnetic field can have dangerous circumstances and it is up to the military to clean up the mess.

Mean while back at the think tank we get treated to what could be a Ménage à trios. That is if no one gets shot.

Martin Benson as the alien Smith adds just the right about credence to the film as Mohammed in the film "Sphinx" (1981)

Yes this is an inexpensive British production but it goes a lot further than most of the genre such as" Devil Girl from Mars" (1954).

3.0 out of 5 stars Bloew average UK sci-fi, June 24, 2003

This review is from: Cosmic Monsters [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A benevolent humanoid alien comes to earth and meanwhile bugs and insects grow to gigantic proportions in this extremely mild, none too exciting sci-fi from the UK. Doesn't have the intensity of many US giant bug movies and lacks much excitement or interest -- the acting is ok, though. For sci-fi completists only.

1.0 out of 5 stars Get The Raid, March 31, 2000

By 

Frank Chao (the good old USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cosmic Monsters [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It's the Brits vs the Bugs when experiments on the Earth's Magnetic Field go awry, causing roaches and spiders to mutate and get buffalo-sized. Not even a mature performance from Alec Mango can save this lemon. A 'must-NOT-see' !
