Storyline

- TriviaAs the scorpion attacks and derails the passenger train, the label "Lionel Lines" is clearly seen on the side of the locomotive's coal tender.
- GoofsMost likely due to budgetary issues, the voices of the opening sequence's narrator, the police radio dispatcher, the radio newscaster, and the public address announcer are all the same. Specifically, it belongs to Bob Johnson, best remembered for being heard in the opening sequence of most episodes of Mission: Impossible (1966) ("Good morning, Mr. Phelps...").

Featured review
Giant scorpion runs wild in Mexico!!!!
This little gem from Warner Brothers is actually a pretty good movie for it's time and genre. The basis of the story is that 2 scientists, one American, one Mexican, head to Mexico to study an erupting volcano. What they find however, is nest underground of huge scorpions that are terrorizing Mexico City. The special effects are good for the era, the scorpion drools and makes scary sounds. The acting is so-so, Richard Denning overacts at times, and the relationship with the ever lovely and B movie horror queen Mara Corday, is not well developed, and the little Mexican boy "Juanito" is nothing short of annoying. But overall the story works helped by the great special effects and the good storyline. A fun movie to watch on a rainy Saturday night.
