This movie is known either as The Crawling Eye or The Trollenberg Terror. For this review, I will refer to it as The Crawling Eye, which is the title on the copy I have.
Strange killings start to occur at the Swiss mountain resort of Trollenberg and a team of people travel to investigate them. These include an American scientist, and two women: a mother and her telepathic daughter. A strange radioactive cloud is discovered on the mountain and the killings occur when that cloud moves. The killings turn out to be the work of strange alien tentacled creatures with one large eye. The creatures are killed at the end and everyone is safe.
The movie's special effects are OK for a low budget movie and the eye creatures look good. The movie is rather gory at times for its period and is also very creepy at times.
The cast includes Forest Tucker (The Abominable Snowman), Janet Munro (The Day the Earth Caught Fire), Warren Mitchell (Unearthly Stranger, Till Death Us Do Part) and Jennifer Jayne (They Came From Beyond Space). All play good parts.
I rather enjoyed this movie and is a must for 1950's sci fi fans like myself.
Rating: 3 and a half stars out of 5.
