Not a bad film about a giant caterpillar that was fished out of the ocean. The monster doesn't look bad at all. The acting was a bit stiff and the sounds it made were strange, but the rest looked good.

The film doesn't last long either, making the final scene the highlight. There are not that many confrontations with the monster. Still, the film is quite entertaining. Certainly one of the best of its time and in the genre.

The scientific approach slowed the pace of the film a bit, but otherwise it was great fun. Nice!
