Another of the 1950s breed of cheaply made monster movies, this one involving gigantic scorpions freed by volcanic eruptions outside Mexico City. The stop-motion scorpions aren't too badly done (though the closeups of their drooling faces are hilarious), and Richard Denning and Mara Corday are tolerable in the lead roles, but this movie would be far more entertaining were it not for Juanito, the small boy and friend of Denning who cranks up the annoyance factor to dangerous levels. On the whole, this movie falls into the "so bad it's good" category.
