This is another of those '50s SF films set in exotic Mexico... The threshold of exotic places definitely changed with time. At least a more recent movie "The Ruins" (2008) had to work a bit to devise an exotic setting in Mexico. In this one, it's just a generic jungle pic, looking a lot like where Jungle Jim was hanging out, which I suppose means the arboretum and Griffith thingmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011048675050396438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102724177937132986.post-62940077016443435582017-03-09T09:32:32.782-05:002017-03-09T09:32:32.782-05:00Howdy Movie Critics,

I saw this on a local UHF station once when I was probably around 7-9 years old, and the thought of some invisible, destructive force doubling in size every few hours until it engulfed the whole world absolutely scared the crap out of me. I never saw it again, and when the internet came about I started searching for it.
