Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
One of Universal-International cheapie '50s bug movies. Bring on the DDT.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Rating: 1/5 --
An affront to the grace and dignity of giant bug movies.
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rating: C- --
The military use smoke and chemical bombs (maybe they contained Raid) to kill it, as the film mercifully ends.

Rating: 3/5 --
Fun entry into the giant bug movies of the 1950s
Lawrence Journal-World
Rating: 3.5/5 --
Having already been through ants, grasshoppers and spiders, the giant bug movie was clearly running the risk of making the entire sci-fi subgenre unbelievable.

Rating: 3/5 --
Very '50s sci-fi with giant insect on the climb, and typically fun overall.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
In the annals of big-bug movies, this one falls somewhere in the middle.

Description by OLDIES.com:
When a giant, thousand-ton, carnivorous praying mantis is released from its million-year slumber in the frozen Arctic, a determined commander (Craig Stevens), a paleontologist (William Hopper) and a photojournalist (Alix Talton) work together to stop its terrible path of deadly destruction. As it walks, leaps and flies towards Washington DC, the fate of a nation rests on stopping the menacing insect by any means possible.
