Welcome to Under The Morgue.

We have sections for each decade of film, from the 1910s onward, as well as sections for 10+ major franchises, close to 50 'smaller' franchises (containing five entries or less), creative writing, independent filmmaking, photography, music, Non-Horror films and TV shows, forum games, and boredom busters, and to top it all off there's an IM shoutbox at the bottom of the page for random chat. From the tame and 'kid sister friendly' to the psychological and mindbending to cheesy splatter flicks to hardcore torture-oriented horror, there's something here for everyone, so why not dive in?

An unusual radioactive rock on the sea bottom mutates the ocean life into a horrible monster. When charred, radioactive bodies begin to drift ashore a scientist and government agent investigate the phenomenon, and it's connection to a local marine biology professor.

The 'monster' looks like a cross between a dragon and something else.

This is a fairly enjoyable if somewhat problematic creature feature. One of the better elements here is the fact that the relatively simple plot manages to keep things on line to the point of extremely efficient storytelling where there's no real extraneous side-plots or unnecessary ventures. Whether they're enjoyable pieces is another matter, but the fact that it's so streamlined and straightforward keeps this from really going off into pointless territories like it easily could've gone. The whole film really centers on the discovery of the strange radioactive substance in the cove and how the discovery is tied to the institute nearby, and the drive to find it out makes this move along quite well as the mystery slowly comes into focus. After that, there isn't a whole lot here that really works all that well. Despite staying on focus for the duration of time in regards to the investigation, this doesn't really produce a lot of interesting facets due to enlarged amount of time spent on the extraneous facets of the investigation and the different red herrings throughout the story that go nowhere, seeming only to provide enough time to turn this into a feature-length affair while compensating for the atrocious special effects. Those really are that bad with a laughable monster, utterly ridiculous make-up effects on the victims and a rather clumsy nature to the attack scenes that really make for a confusing time with the stiff, immovable costume never making it seem like there's something to fear in the creature which really takes a lot out of the movie when the few times it's on-screen there's not much worth to it. These elements all conspire to keep this down somewhat.
Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?

Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs.
