Guys in what look more like giant shiny starfish outfits terrorize a southern swamp in this early AIP cheaply-made quickie. Produced by Roger and brother Gene Corman this one drags a lot whenever the stupid-looking monsters aren't around but at least it's only a little over an hour long. I thought it was kinda creepy and cool that the leech/squid monsters take their half-alive victims back to their underwater cave/lair to slowly drink their blood in some scenes that were probably pretty shocking for the 1950's. Features Yvette Vickers who plays a slut in this and a similar character in ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN, I guess it was her specialty. This was remade in 2008 but I'm sure it was full of CGI leech-monsters and that would really blow. Check out the original if you dig silly-ass drive-in type classics probably made in about a day or two.
Aqua-beasts! Aaaah!:
