This 1957 film delivers a lot in the talk department and not so much in the logic department.

Rating: C+ --
An enjoyable but poorly made monster film that should satisfy those whose expectations are low.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Giant mollusks as monsters? It sounds like perfect MST3K fodder, but the truth is that The Monster That Challenged the World is a fairly nifty '50s treat, with an intelligent script and decent effects (more so given its low budget).

As Fifties monster movies go, the 1957 production isn't bad. There are a couple of good shock cuts, a special attention paid to idiosyncratic supporting players, and the usual mix of romance, military efficiency and doomed teenagers.

Agreeable retro nonsense.

Agreeable sci-fi flick with unusual monster and location.

Product Description:
A small earthquake awakens monsters in the depths of the Salton Sea which triggers the giant snail-like creatures to begin to multiply. Now, it is up to the Navy to try to stop these deadly mollusks as they migrate down the California waterways in search of more humans to devour.
