aka Body Of The Prey. The Devil Garden. The Double Garden. The Venus Flytrap.
"How in the hell can anybody be so utterly stupid as to build a rocket base on the coast of Florida?"
A rocket scientist (James Craig), has a nervious breakdown, and goes to Japan to recoup. Here he develops the theory that man evolved from the sea. To prove this he creates a carnivorous man-eating plant, that, of course, runs amok!
Full of fantasically bad dialogue, in a muted but still obvious Ed Wood style, (he supposedly wrote the original screenplay). Add some relentlessly jaunty and inappropriate music, and a ludicrus, man in rubber creature costume, (no self respecting Japanese monster film would be complete without one), and you have this joyous creation. Another bad meaning good film, released upon an unwanting audience.
