Meanwhile Dave ´s girlfriend, the teacher Cathy Barrett (Lola Albright), brings her class to the desert and the girl Ginny (Linda Scheley) takes a piece of meteorite home. However the black rock has a chemical reaction with the rain water and on the next morning, Ben´s co-worker Dave Miller (Grant Williams) finds him petrified in the office. In San Angelo, California, the geologist Ben Gilbert (Phil Harvey) finds a piece of meteorite in the desert and brings it to his office. In all, not something you'd watch over and over, but certainly worth one look and it is a worthy additon to the recently-released Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection pack. They were interesting (not scary) and the sound-effects that went with them were effective. The monoliths - the special-effects - were well-done, too, for its day. The supporting actors in here were fine, too. It's always good to see the gorgeous Albright in her younger days: a classic beauty.

For a 'B' film, it's well-acted with Grant Williams, star of "The Incredible Shrinking Man," in the lead and Lola Albright of Peter Gunn TV fame as his girlfriend. It's course, of course, is the town and the race is on to stop them before the town is destroyed. An emergency erupts when a storm arrives and all the rain begins to cause those rocks (monoliths) to rise to huge proportions, fall, break up and then rise again and destroy everything in its path. More experiments occur by the hour as the citizens in this small California desert town try to figure out what and why this is happening. The girl is saved as they experiment and find out how to cure her. First a scientist loses his life, then a family loses the mother and day, the house, and almost their little girl. As long as moisture touches them, they grow, multiple and crush everybody and everything around them. In a nutshell, rocks from a big meteorite that had crashed who-knows-when, suddenly begin growing when water hits them. One thing for sure: this certainly has a different premise. I guess "pretty good" would be the best description of everything here: the acting, the characters, the special-effects and the story. It wasn't frightening but it succeeded in keeping my interest, which was no mean feat considering the outrageous storyline. It should have been a stupid, horrible Class B movie - killer rocks threatening a town? - but it was quite interesting. This was better than it should have been.
