Slightly above average 50s science fiction (1958), enlivened by a nearly literate script by James Clavell.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Fresh
Clavell's script successfully treads a fine line between black comedy and po-faced seriousness.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Fresh
One of the better, more restrained entries of the 'shock' school.
