The Giant Behemoth

Starring: Gene Evans, Andre Morell, John Turner

As in his classic The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, director Eugene Lourie plunges us into a thrilling stomping ground, unleashing another Thunder Lizard to stomp on everything in sight. Alarming levels of radiation have infused the water, plants and skies, and a radiated paleosaurus rises from the ocean depths. In its path: London. In its arsenal: a strength to topple buildings (King Kong's Willis O'Brien contributes rampaging stop-motion effects), a stride that flattens cars, a flesh-searing radioactive ray and a ticked-off attitude. Left in ruins on land, humankind takes the fight to the beast's undersea realm, where a two-man submarine crew must ensure the torpedo they fire is dead-on. The first chance is all anyone gets with The Giant Behemoth.

Something came out of the ocean

“Behemoth the Sea Monster” aka “The Giant Behemoth” (1959) Job 40: 15 Behold now behemoth 17 He moveth his tail like a cedar Job 41: 19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. John walks along the shore (evidently, he never saw “The Blob”). “What’s this stuff?” and sticks his hand in it. He deserves what he gets. Looks like Professor Steve Karnes (Gen Evens) is onto something big. Maybe even a creature that is the legacy of the bomb. He tries to catch it like a dog chasing a car. And it seems that the beastie has an electric personality. Soon, they realize that dispatching our friend will be complicated. But can it be done? The Behemoth may find that hard to swallow. No kibitzing. The versions of this movie that have subtitles will give a few laughs, such as the descriptions of the background music, and when speaking French, the subtitle says (speaking a foreign language).
