Movie Reviews of The Monster That Challenged the World
Movie Review: SCARED THE BE-JEEZUS OUT OF ME!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this as an impressionable young tyke & it's gastly images still hold root.
Played in a pretty straight-forward sombre tone this sci-fi thriller shocked me right off in the opening sequence when the Navy diver...well, no sense spoiling anything... And a wife's loss of her husband is certainly more touching than most of what this genre offers.
And it's these little touches that make this offering somewhat more realistic than let's say, THE GIANT CLAW.
Good acting, good direction and an interesting story keep this moving right along. Hero Tim Holt is not your ordinary military type; he's revealed to be more humanistic, awkward at times, uncomfortable in the romantic situations, unsure of his actions yet determined to put an end to THE MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD!
I fondly remember Holt with actor Richard Martin in an earlier series of B-Westerns in which they usually played Tim & Chito respectively. These were lots of fun and should be checked out by those who may be interested.
THE MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD is a very well-made example of 1950's Horror/Sci-fi.,competently made and executed on all levels.
And the MGM print is EXCELLENT!!
This is a must-have.
