Technically, I've been watching this movie for months now, always getting interrupted every few minutes and never getting back to it. Ah well, it's not that complicated a movie. 1950s sci-fi/horror is usually about atomic paranoia, and here the big bad is basically radiation itself, in the form of radioactive oozing mud that instantly kills everyone who gets near it with devastating radiation poisoning. The effects are obvious but effective. The ending threw me a little - after defeating the creature, there's a second reaction and the scientist guy is like, "that's not supposed to happen" and the other guys are like "whatever, you were right, go you!" And then it's over. WHAT HAPPENED, DID SOMETHING ACTUALLY GO WRONG? Is there a sequel to this I'm not aware of about the ooze monster coming back bigger and badder?
