"What it does have is the all time dumbest 50's monster." – Joe Dante
What the hell? An extra-terrestrial semi-retarded giant chicken appears in earth's atmosphere and promptly starts attacking mankind. It's therefore up to a scientist and a mathematician to stop the beast.
This film is renowned for being one of the worst "creature features". The dialogue consists of fare like "That bird is extraterrestrial! It comes from outer space!" and "It was a bird as big as a battleship!" and the rest of the film if comprised of the usual 1950s scifi/horror B-movie ingredients: a silly monster, bad dialogue delivered with complete sincerity, annoying teens as the monster's victims, abundant stock footage, a squeaky clean male hero, a busty but smart female sidekick, corny scientific explanations and a plot completely devoid of logic.
And yet this is probably the only film in cinema history to star a giant prehistoric extraterrestrial United Nations hating rubber chicken. That's exactly how I like my giant poultry: politically incorrect.
6/10 - The film now plays well as an unintentional comedy. To save money, this film's producers outsourced their special effects to a suspicious company in Mexico. Little is known about that company, other than the fact that they make unconvincing poultry.
