When all four of the two engines fail on a jet there's big problems. The tombstone toothed pilot and his incomprehensible Jamaican co-pilot request advice from their air command, which has the threatening codename "grandmother". Grandmother orders them to drop their nuclear bomb into the sea creating a large explosion of stock footage. As any scientist will tell you this can only mean one thing - a giant monster on the rampage around the coast of Spain. This is all done in code so it sounds like "Grandmother here, calling baby, drop the bottle in the sea and return to auntie via brother-in-law". Apparently the Russians have cracked their code but I doubt anyone in the audience could. You get the jist of it though, big explosion and big funny looking monster biting the top off lighthouses and generally being a danger to shipping.A sea captain who is constantly being asked if he's drunk and some woman set out to prove it's real, which is tricky because it's clearly a big glove puppet. My favourite scene was the courtroom case involving a 25ft fishing boat where even the clerk of the court was an admiral.Funny from the first line onwards with masterful dubbing I give it 19/10 with a bonus point for every exploding rowboat taking it up to a respectable 30/10. The ending is especially good, take that Africa - one giant monster coming your way! Not our problem any more.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. A movie that is about a stupid looking monster from the ocean that threatens a small town which has to be filled with the dumbest people on earth.
SPOILERS IF YOU EVEN CARE
They can't even kill the damn thing by the end of the movie. The movie ends and they're like, "Well, some day we'll have to kill it."Avoid at all costs.

This has to be one of the most awfully scripted films I've ever seen. It's basically a remake of The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (1953), but done with your standard snake-like puppet-monster instead of a sleek Ray Harryhausen creation. Combine the plot of that classic monster movie with the production qualities and acting level of The Creeping Terror and you have an idea of what this movie is like.The movie is dubbed, although by the original actors (I think that the movie was originally dubbed in Italian for that countries audiences, then redubbed for US release), which just makes the movie seem weird...the sounds, like in a Japanese monster movie, just don't quite match properly to the action on the screen, even if the actors' lips are moving properly.Poor Ray Milland...he's certainly come a long way down from The Lost Weekend or Dial M for Murder or any of the number of excellent movies he was in. Add this to his other sci-fi travesties (Panic in the Year Zero, X The Man with X-Ray Eyes) and you can see a once good actor fallen into a Boris Karloff syndrome...stuck doing really bad horror films in foreign countries just for the work.

I have a VHS copy of this lame film subtitled in Portuguese. It has some truly laughable scenes with a giant a sea Serpent engulfing a whole woman in the Tamariz beach at night...On the underwater sequences the "monster" looks like a muppet!... A MUST SEE!!!
