The plot of this movie has to be one of the most original ever: instead of vampires, zombies, ghosts or aliens, this time the monster is a plaster cast from the shape of a person who died in Pompei, during the famous eruption of the Vesuvio volcano, 79 a.d.! Scenes were not shot in Italy at all, you can see some pretty anonymous setting with wrongly-written Italian signs and a landscape which looks like California or Mexico, but has definitely nothing of Italy.
Acting is terrible, the story is nonense and effects are very poor. Still, like many cheap horror pictures from the 1950's, it's so absurd that it's big fun to watch.
