Hydrogen bomb testing in the Pacific leads to a mutant species of octopus growing really, really big. Good thing Navy commander and ace monster fighter Kenneth Tobey is on the job. Decently made '50s sic-fi with impressive Ray Harryhausen effects. Even the octopus out-acts Faith Domergue in this, and the scene where she and Ken have a heart-to-heart talk while fondling test tubes is amusing in a Freudian sort of way.
