The MAGNETIC MONSTER

The MAGNETIC MONSTER
   Film (1953). A-Men Productions/United Artists. Dir Curt SIODMAK, starring Richard Carlson, King Donovan, Jean Byron. Screenplay Siodmak, Ivan Tors. 76 mins. B/w.
   A new isotope, created in a laboratory, sucks in nearby energy and doubles its size every few hours; eventually it may destroy the Earth. The first part of the film shows it being tracked down byscientific investigators, puzzled at the strange magnetic fields it produces. It emits deadly radiation and is finally destroyed in a giant power plant in the ocean by feeding it with more energy than it can absorb. The film includes much footage at the finale from the German sf classic GOLD (1934). This is a well made, documentary-style, fast-moving thriller, one of Siodmak's better scripts, and the best of the (generally poor) films that he directed.
