20 million miles to Earth.
It's one of those must-see movies if you are a fan of black-and-white monster movies.
A spaceship crash lands on Earth after a trip to Venus.
The planet Venus?
Ah-hum, on the ship is a cylinder. Inside it is a creature brought back from the planet. After some time, it hatches from it's egg? and is caught by the local doctor. He finds out that the creature is growing at a remarkable speed. Predictably, it breaks out after awhile and it's up to the army to stop, capture or kill it.
The effects on the creature are really amazing for it's time. One scene in particular, where the creature attacks a man in a barn, looked really believable. Harryhausen did a wonderful job with this monster.
I really enjoyed this movie.
7 out of 10 stars.
