(1955, Upgraded 12/31/20) Kent Taylor, Kathy Downs, Michael Whalen, Helene Stanton. This early AIP thriller (still known as American Releasing Corporation) was originally double billed with THE DAY THE WORLD ENDED. A crazed scientist unleashes a horrible, radioactive monster from the deep that menaces a small coastal village. Whalen is the mad scientist who guards the secret of the monster, while Taylor is bound and determined to uncover the truth, even if it means getting a beautiful yound woman to betray her father. There's also a bit of an espionage sublpot thrown in for good measure with a good-looking lady spy up to something nefarious along with the help of her spear-gun-wielding accomplice! The monster has other ideas. Gurgle, gurgle. From a top-of-the-line 35mm original print.
