Poster for the movie Cosmic Monsters

The Strange World of Planet X (1958)

Scientific experiments involving boosted magnetism are having unforeseen impacts, and a stranger has shown up in the vicinity of the British lab where the research is going on. Said stranger purports to be an alien warning of the devastating effect of the cosmic rays reaching Earth as a result of the experiments, resulting in aggressive insanity and gigantism among people and animals, respectively. Satisfying little film, also known as Cosmic Monsters, is rather short on special effects but engaging nonetheless.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 324 for 2021.
