Trivia
In the early 1980s, 20th Century Fox produced, but did not release, a video game with the name of this movie. Made for the Atari 2600, it even very loosely followed the plot of the film, unlike some other 20th Century Fox games which just used the title of a film. A "prototype" copy of the unreleased game has since surfaced. See more »Goofs
When Paul Webster is on the operating table, shirtless, only his head and hands are partly alligator, and not the other areas of his visible skin (no doubt due to budgetary reasons). See more »Quotes

This is the kind of movie I used to watch when I spent Friday nights at my best friend's house and we stayed up all night eating junk food and watching monster movies on TV. Beverly Garland, queen of the 50's B flicks, is great as the worried wife and George Macready (later known as the tyrannical Mr. Peyton on Peyton Place) is doing his best with what he has to work with--hey, they were just working folks with bills to pay! All things considered, it's a cut above most of its genre. No surprises; the usual 50's post-bomb musings about playing God, cheesy costumes, and all that comes with this kind of story. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
