| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeThe truth, though, is that it's entirely due to this plucked buzzard-from-hell puppet that anyone remembers the movie today. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairSlow-moving, talky, and ultimately dull... |
| User ReviewJake SMy new favorite black and white movie. Truly terrible film but amazing for it. The monster (a antimatter giant space buzzard) has been mascarading as me on my profile picture for a couple of days now! |
| User ReviewAlexander CThis movie monster is the most fascinating thing ever to brace the screen. You don't f**k with the giant Claw! |
| User ReviewKeith FOK, so the monster still makes me laugh, that doesn't make it a bad film. I urge everyone to view this as you would an old episode of Dr. Who- Sure, the effects suck big wind, but the actual story is still good (In this case, even slightly Lovecraftian). |
| User ReviewDolby WIts one of the most entertaining movies of it's genre. The bird is so poorly designed that it is hard to not love the thing! One of my favorite giant monster movies; check it out! |
| User ReviewRichard BAmazing movie, it's like every terrible 50's scifi monster movie cliche rolled into one. Plus you can watch it for free on google! |
| User ReviewNathan MGiant alien buzzard made of anti matter that eats people. Awesome. |
| User ReviewDerrick CUm...a giant bird that radiates anti-matter comes from outer space and eats people. Two words...HECK YES. This movie is so amazing words can't even describe! |
| User ReviewThom LAction as big as a battleship! I want to be an electronics engineer when I grow up! |
