Storyline
While the hot-rodders and motorcyclists are having a rock-and-roll beach party, a barrel of radioactive material is unloaded from a passing ship, plunges to the bottom, and splits against a jagged rock. A black liquid oozes out and covers a shapeless mass on the ocean floor, which suddenly moves and becomes an encrusted vicious monster. Soon there are several monsters who must have human blood to survive. Tina is the first victim, and football hero Hank Green and airhead Elaine Gavin enlist the aid of her science-professor father, Dr. Gavin, to find and capture the killer. Not working fast enough to prevent the attack on 20 teenagers at a slumber party or the killing of three girl motorists, Dr. Gavin finds an arm lost by one of the monsters and discovers that only sodium will destroy the monsters, whose composition is mostly water. Can they gather enough salt in southern California to put an end to this horror? Written by Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>

Alternate Versions
All TV prints and at least one old VHS release have the more gory scenes cut out, most notably shots of the body of the first woman attacked by one of the monsters after it surfaces on the beach shore, and the slumber party massacre, which abruptly stops after the monsters burst inside. There is one old VHS release that does include all the gore intact. See more »Soundtracks

A few years ago, I finally got to see this film on late night television and I finally was able to judge how bad it was for myself and it definitely is one of the worst films ever made. This film came out when the "Beach Party" craze was at its zenith, so someone had the bright idea to make a horror beach flick, and in of all places Connecticut, not Southern California. However, this film isn't as bad as a film that came out around the same time, The Beach Girls and the Monster. At least the monsters in this one were "real" and not some psycho dressed as a monster as was the case in the latter film. However, I do have a soft spot for bad movies and its too bad that this one isn't out on video or D.V.D.. It is an all time classic turkey.
