Getting STUNG is FUNG

This campy Grade Z "monster" movie is a blast! From director William Grefe who made everything from Wild Rebels to the snake flick Stanley - you will laugh at all the mistakes and most of all - the creature! The monster suit has to be seen to be believed! Supposedly modeled after a Man O' War - the guy in the suit looks he has a giant dry cleaning bag on his head - or if you could see through HR Pufnstuf's noggin - that is what it might look like. The scene where the "teens" are attacked by dozens of Man O Wars is hysterical but it is clearly just colored sandwich bags with strings hanging from them. And why Neil Sedaka agreed to record Do The Jellyfish or whatever the lousy ditty is called that he sings is beyond me. This is also that kind of movie where the "teens" all look like they are pushing 40 years of age. If you like big goofy monster suits - this movie is for you.
