Film Review: The Giant Claw

See the source image

Release date: June 1957.

Story: While doing radar testing in the North Pole, a civil aeronautical engineer named MacAfee spots a unidentified flying object and sends three jets out to investigate. But one goes missing and MacAfee gets blamed for a hoax.. But soon planes start disappearing all over the world and people keep radioing reports of something "as big as a battleship" is responsible. It turns out to be a gigantic bird that supposingly had come from a antimatter galaxy. Could MacAfee and everyone else stop this bird before its too late? Watch the film and find out.

My thoughts: This movie is a classic B movie. It's characters are ok and most of the action is good. However the puppetry for the giant bird is laughable at times. Also you better get used to the phrase "As big as a battleship!" As it will be mentioned constantly through out the movie.

My score: Three stars.
