Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

While the low budget dictated that Harryhausen's octopus only be constructed with six rather than eight tentacles, only a major-league dweeb would spend time trying to count them instead of enjoying the top-notch entertainment.

Harryhausen's many-armed gargantuan (for budgetary reasons, it actually only possessed six appendages) is easily the best reason to watch this production.

Given the number of movies like this that DIDN'T pay off with such a top-notch monster, it is easier to forgive the various narrative, cinematic, and psychological failings.

Harryhausen wasn't yet on top of his game, but the special effects still were the feeble film's best feature.

Of course, in perspective it's all a fun kind of bad and any Cahiers du Cinema critique dissolves on contact.
