Quiz
In an interview, star Marshall Thompson recalled that director Arthur Crabtree didn't really want to direct the film--he thought sci-fi was beneath him. Crabtree turned up on set on the first day of filming, took one look at the script and informed the cast and crew that he refused to do the film. He walked off set, and the producers needed several days to convince him to return, citing contractual obligations. Thompson says that during those days, Thompson directed the film himself.

Blooper
Destroying the control panel of a nuclear reactor already in meltdown would do nothing to reduce the radiation coming off on it, and might even make it worse.

Citazioni
Prof. R. E. Walgate: What have I unleashed?

Versioni alternative
Original UK cinema prints were cut by the BBFC to heavily reduce sounds and shots of gore from the climactic destruction of the creatures. The version shown by BBC as part of the Moviedrome season was the same cut cinema print, and this was later issued on UK DVD in 2003 on the 2 Entertain label.

A Classic Especially for an 11 year old Kid

I've read many comments about this movie from those that I assume just recently viewed it. In 1958 my brother and I saw this film at the local theater. It must have cost us at least 35 cents to see it and one other movie. To sum it up it scared our socks off. Remember that sick feeling you got in you stomach when you watched Alien for the first time. That same feeling and probably worse is what we experienced. The shear terror of the invisible beast and the subtle way the movie lead up to revealing the monster created a tension an 11 year kid in the fifties was not ready for. At the time this movie was actually banned in certain countries. This is a fact, not just media hype. With all the high-tech movie making of today it will get harder and harder to scare the sophisticated movie buff. But in 1958 this one sent us home afraid to walk in a dark room or turn our backs to a dark corner.
