Draco S Oct 29, 2017 This is a movie of its time when atomic/nuclear energy and weapons were a new idea. I like the idea and I almost want someone to remake this movie with better special effects. See more
Ron L Aug 5, 2017 Abysmal fifties nuke 'thriller', this time set on a Canadian (yeah, right) airbase where a cast of shockingly bad actors pretend to be scared by a thing that is mostly invisible (cue rustling bushes and mimed death grips) until the budget allows us to see the stop-motion brains that fly through the air to attack and terrify. Ed Wood would have been ashamed. See more
