User Reviews
SciFiScreams – 7/10
“I really dug the premise—rocks that grow and kill? That's some unique sci-fi horror. The black-and-white cinematography adds a creepy, dusty atmosphere. The acting is a bit dated, but the growing monoliths are genuinely unsettling.”
GoreHound66 – 5/10
“It's an okay monster movie, but I wanted more gore and suspense. The monsters are just rocks, so they're not that scary. Could have used more character development and a faster pace. Still, it's a classic for a reason.”
NightOwl99 – 8/10
“For me, this is a hidden gem. The creeping dread of the mineral disease is way better than the rock monsters. The scenes with the petrified victims are chilling. It's a slow burn, but it's worth it for fans of vintage sci-fi.”
RetroRewind – 6/10
“I appreciate the originality, but the execution is a bit dry. The special effects are charmingly low-budget. The ending feels a bit rushed. Overall, a decent watch for a rainy afternoon when you're in the mood for some old-school sci-fi.”
