A strange scientist arrives undercover as a town on the California Coast. Later, you discover his being there isn't an accident and he's investigating some strange radiation deaths of locals on the water. While this guy is the hero, his part isn't written all that well and he keeps changing identities very often and for no apparent reason. At the same time, there's a local college professor that MIGHT know something about the deaths and he has an evil assistant who is stupid and kills and tries to kill people in a most ridiculous fashion--shooting them from great distances with a spear gun used for scuba diving! Such a gun, in and outside the water, is NOT at all accurate and hitting anyone from such a distance is a million to one shot! Duh. There's also a romance that seems superfluous and difficult to believe, but don't worry about it--as it really has no impact on the film.
This is a grade-Z film from 1955 about an undersea monster created by nuclear radiation. As far as the monster's costume goes, it's very reminiscent and not much better than the one seen in THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH--it's definitely one of the low points of the film. Also, the plot is very rough with some pretty stiff acting. However, despite all these problems, it is not unwatchable and is about average for a bug-eyed monster from the 1950s sort of film.
