It Came From Beneath The Sea - 1955 - 5/10

Our creature being, what appears to be, a gigantic octopus.
Blame radiation from nuclear testing in the South Pacific again.
Said radiation is also killing the natural prey, so Ole Octi starts heading towards people snax.
Arriving at San Francisco, where the producers flat drop the ball.
Look, there are tasty sea lions at Fisherman’s Wharf, squealing turistas jostling the Embarcadero.
Best, hundreds of convicts, eager to fight, out on Alcatraz!
Yes, yes, there is military business, with torpedoes and explosions, but this remains kinda dull.
Watch with a couple of six-packs, maybe a jumbo order of fish n chips.
