The story and dialogue were fine and the island sets were outstanding (in the elaborate style of The Land Unknown) but the terrible amateur acting and poor line delivery by a large majority of the cast left Port Sinister dead in the water.<\/p>\n
As for the famed Giant Crab, please be advised that the stilted puppetry mentioned above only occurs for only a brief instance(they must not have been too proud of their puppet creation) with the remainder of the crab scenes being filled by closeups of a real live crab. Although I am a big fan of cheese, this two minute scene was not worth seeking out this ‘lost classic’.<\/p>\n
For 50’s sci-fi enthusiasts, there are many other lesser known sci-fi efforts that are more deserving of your time and money than Port Sinister. Try out The Night the World Exploded, Mutiny in Outer Space, Caltiki – the Immortal Monster, War of the Satellites, Magnetic Monster, Unknown World or The Earth Dies Screaming first. <\/p>\n
Worth a watch for fans if you happen across it on TV but Port Sinister is strictly bottom of the barrel for repeat viewings.<\/p>\n
