A rather original Universal potboiler that return us to the California desert with elements of 'The Kraken Wakes' and 'The Crystal World' depicting alien life forms that resemble enormous chemical gardens.
The tone is set from the outset by the stentorian opening narration by Paul Frees, there's an amusing cameo from William Schallert, anyone familiar with 'Dr Strangelove' will be amused by the chief of police's response to proposal that a dam be blown up by declaring "You can't do that it's privately owned!" and the film is to be commended for creating such an original non-anthropomorphic alien.
