About
If you enjoy vintage giant-monster movies like The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms or The Giant Behemoth, this brisk British creature feature should be a fun pick; Not for you if you want originality or modern-looking effects.
Pros: fun monster action; memorable London destruction; solid period effects | Cons: very familiar setup; thin human characters; uneven creature realism
