Professor Nesbitt (Paul Christian) returns from a scientific experiment in the Arctic which has released a dinosaur. Only he has seen it and nobody believes him. Another couple of sightings of the monster at sea help to convince Professor Elson (Cecil Kellaway) to go in search of the pre-historic being with Lee Hunter (Paula Raymond) and Nesbitt as part of his team. The beast is not at all elusive and takes to land where it rampages through New York.......cue Lee van Cleef......
Its an OK film that is a bit boring in parts. The monster is a fake, funny dinosaur that looks like a confused lizard in close-up - almost cute. I don't understand why they had a leading man with a peculiar accent and I found it rather stupid how he identified the monster from a drawing. Imagine trying to pick out a dog from hundreds of drawings of the same breed......they all look the same!!! Not only that, but this drawing of a dinosaur that was identical to hundreds of the other drawings was identified by another man - and this was sufficient to convince a leading expert to go in search of it.....No way...!!!...
Apart from some silliness in the script, it keeps you watching and there is a good fight between a shark and an octopus in the underwater scenes. Its a film about a dinosaur on the rampage - there are better science-fiction films out there.
