Has a real-life lizard (looking as disinterested as hell!) harassing scale models . . . Full Review

Rating: 1/4 -- this is the kind of movie where simple continuity between day and night proves to be a problem

Camp value is provided by a truckload of 1950s B-movie cliches and dreadful song breaks -- "The Gila Monster Crawl" among other "rock & roll hits" -- by its lead, Don Sullivan, who through this movie rose from nothing to complete obscurity. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- The desolate desert imagery combined with Jack Marshall's creepy score make for a sporadically transfixing experience. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- made on a shoestring budget and it shows; bad blend of teenagers, rock music and silly lizard on patently faked sets.

Description by OLDIES.com:

Only Hell could breed such an enormous beast. Only God could destroy it! Well, if not God, how about a heroic hot-rodding teenager? That's the idea behind this independent slime fest from the same film company that produced another low budget "classic," The Killer Shrews. Both were directed by Ray Kellogg, a special effects specialist and second unit director who would eventually work on some of Hollywood's biggest pictures, including Cleopatra and The Green Berets. In 1959, though, it was all about Gila monsters and revved up teens. If there's a schlock Hall of Fame, this one deserves its own wing!
