After giant ants, spiders, dinosaurs and various aliens, it was the turn of giant molluscs to threaten the world in this enjoyable movie.

An underwater earthquake in the Salton Sea releases prehistoric and radioactive giant molluscs. They then start to kill people by feeding on their bones. Navy officers and scientists from the nearby remote naval base investigate and try and stop them, but they escape into the nearby canal and start to threaten the world. Meanwhile, an unhatched egg is brought to the naval base for examination, but this hatches after a little girl raises the temperature of the water tank its kept in by accident, releasing another monster and threatens her and her mum before it is killed. The other unhatched eggs in the sea are destroyed by divers, and the other monsters are eventually killed.

The monsters in this movie don't look too bad, despite the low budget and the movie is quite eeire in parts.

The movie stars western actor Tim Holt, Audrey Dalton as his love interest, Mimi Gibson as her daughter and Hans Conried.

I taped this movie when it came on channel 4 during the early hours and have seen it several times. A treat.

Rating: 4 stars out of 5.
