A horror film from the early days of Hammer, the famous British B-movie horror company, with a particularly absurd script. British army radioactive experiments lead to the release of a ridiculous being, like nuclear goo, which roams the fields and towns of rural Scotland, melting whatever comes its way.
A kind of Blob in a radioactive version and manufactured in Scotland.
The allusion to radioactivity is quite typical of the time, when everyone had heard about the nuclear bombs dropped by the North Americans on Japan, but no one had a definite idea of what radioactivity was and what dangers it represented. To simulate the radioactive danger, it was necessary to invent a murderous foam that would melt anyone who approached it less than three meters (and not always, if the film is to be believed).
Anyway, a basic film, only for fans of Hammer's minimal and absurd style.
