When on a remote island community a corpse is discovered completely devoid of bone, the local police constable (Sam Kydd) calls in Dr. Landers (Eddie Bryne) who is at a loss to explain, but he knows someone who might help, and travels to the mainland to see Dr. Stanley (Peter Cushing) a pathologist. Stanley and Landers go to David West (Edward Judd) who is an expert on bone disease. Intrigued by the bizarre symptoms, West's girlfriend Toni Merril (Carole Gray) follow Landers back to the island. They discover that a tentacled blobbed fiends are the culprit, and they are multiplying fast! Can our hapless heroes save the day? Watch this fast-paced Sci-Fi chiller to find out.
The monster - a greenish blob with a tentacle - is rubbery and cheesy, just what you would expect from a 1966 film, however, there's a naive charm around it and they do appear menacing, but that's due to the music, the atmosphere and the acting that lends credibility to what's happening, no matter how bizarre. Watch Cushing's terrified expression when he sees those monsters; he just convinces you that it's lethal. The sound effects are quite sinister.
A really enjoyable sci-fi yarn that is full of atmosphere and a rising dread.
