* SplatterHorror: One of the first examples of this trope. Unlike other horror films of the time where the defeat of the monster is bloodless, here the monsters are outright hacked into pieces or blown to bits resulting in fountains of blood. The gore was so bad in fact that the film had to be given an X-rating by the British Board of Film Censors.

* {{Gorn}}: In a rare case for TheFifties, the film contains a tremendous amount of brain gore in its climax that would not feel out of place in an R-rated horror film. James Rolfe even commented on this and believed that it was perhaps the goriest film of its time.

At a base in UsefulNotes/{{Canada}}, the U.S. Air Force is conducting long-range radar tests to try and get a leg up on [[UsefulNotes/ColdWar those pesky Russians]]. The people living near the base don't like how the aircraft spook their animals, and the churlish Mayor Hawkins (James Dyrenforth) is spreading nasty rumors about the possible [[NuclearNasty side effects]] of radiation from the atomic reactor powering the American radar equipment.
