the monster that challenged the world (1957)

"From the instant they're born, they're hungry."
An earthquake unleashes a giant sea-monster into California's Salton Sea, near a military base. With the mysterious death of three naval personnel, Lt. Commander John Twillinger (Tim Holt) is sent to investigate the case, but this case may be more than he can cope with!
A 50's creature feature that follows the usual patern, hero military guy, with love interest in tow, this being played by Audrey Dalton, (unusually for the times playing a single parent). One of the better 50's monster films, with better special effects than one should expect from the budget and some nice character development to sustain the interest whilst waiting for the creature to appear.
