I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Simply A Masterpiece

best movie i've ever seen.

The first must-see film of the year.

In a small lab in rural England, three scientists work on experiments involving magnetism. There's British Dr. Laird (Alec Mango), American Gil Graham (Forrest Tucker), and French Michele Dupont (a badly-dubbed Gaby André ). A mysterious stranger named Smith (Martin Benson) shows up and warns them about their experiments. He turns out to be right because the experiments have had unpredictable results, including releasing giant bugs on the English countryside.Not bad but not great sci-fi movie from across the pond. Most of the special effects are admittedly pretty lousy. Still, it's far better than its reputation. The romance between Tucker and André is nauseating. The overt sexism is pretty amusing, though. My favorite scene is when Smith first appears to a little girl in the woods. There's some funny dialogue there.

Creepy over-sized insects, frogs & spiders. The British military has a few shots at them with bolt action Enfield rifles. Flying Saucers , Ed Wood would have sold his favorite cashmere sweater to have in his films. A mad scientist & genuine suspense as the huge bugs surround a rural schoolhouse with antennae silhouetted on the wall & in windows. I saw this on late nite TV back in 1965. Never knew what the title was until tonight when it was screened on TCM. As a 12 y.o. , it scared the pants off me while delivering a few laughs. Seeing Martin Benson in another role besides his highly recognizable character, "Solo" in "Goldfinger", not to mention one line delivered by Peter Copely whom I knew as "the Jeweler" in Beatles' film "Help", was quite a treat. What stuck with me most of all was the quote by the little girl character(Jill) explaining to Martin Benson's "Smith" .... "all insects are bugs, but not all bugs are insects". It's a quote I have had the opportunity to utilize in many situations over the past 46 years.

Well, it's all a bit strange. Here's an old British low-budget (wheren't they all?) science-fiction thriller, and all the commentators are American.That won't do.I saw this little treasure as a kid at the local flea-pit. It had an A-rating, meaning that a child could see it if accompanied by an adult. I think it perhaps should have been an X-rating. It certainly scared the pants off me.In Britain, it was actually screened as simply 'The Strange World'. The 'Planet X' bit was omitted until it appeared on television some years later.Stray radiation has been up to no good (ain't it always the case). We are warned by some know-it-all that it will have the effect of 'making things smaller. Or very much bigger'. Oh-dear. The worst effects appear to be concentrated around a little corner of England called 'Brierley Wood'. Some things seem to have got bigger big-time. We're talking insects here. There are no giant bunnies or anything else monster-cute. Unpleasant deaths begin happening to solitary people, especially after dark. 'It isn't very good in the deep, dark wood, in the middle of the night, when there isn't any light' - Enid Blyton. This is no time for nocturnal mushroom pickers. We humans are helped by a friendly alien who has turned up to warn us about our meddling - alas, too late. Well, almost.Eventually a company of soldiers are dispatched to sweep the wood and a battle takes place between over-grown bugs and the army, a bit like the earlier movie 'Them'. Humans come out on top, but there are some grisly killings.Evidently made with a budget about equal to today's family shopping-bill, special-effects are almost non-existent. Ordinary insects are filmed in huge Attenborough-like close-up. But the plot is well paced, there is some decent acting, and an adequate script. Skillful lighting and location create suitably spooky ambiance.We made a few nice little black-and-white scarers back in the good old days. Fans should check-out the original and best 'Village Of The Damned', based on John Wyndam's 'Midwich Cuckoos'.

I enjoyed Cosmic Monsters on DVD recently, and Forrest Tucker has never disappointed in such films (The Crawling Eye; Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas). It has those British science aspects that I really, really like in black & white films from the 1950's (Professor Quatermass comes to mind). The science of the plot is believable to a point, and the UFO Planet X elements work for me. Special effects are limited, and I did not care for the insects near the end, nor was I impressed with the numerous scenes of soldiers shooting bugs. However, the titular "spider in the web" scene is quite effective. Simplistic, well-paced, and enjoyable. Two points off for special effects & ending.
