The calving of an Arctic iceberg releases a giant praying mantis, trapped in suspended animation since prehistoric times. It first attacks military outposts to eat their occupants, then makes its way to the warmer latitudes of Washington and New York. A paleontologist works together with military units to try to kill it.
The Deadly Mantis was made towards the end of Universal’s 1950′s cycle of monster/sci-fi movies. This one is one of the best.
A giant prehistoric mantis is awoken from a long sleep by atomic bomb testing in the North Pole. After going on the rampage in the frozen wastes and killing several people in the process, it heads first for Washington and then New York, where it is eventually gassed in Manhattan Tunnel.
The giant mantis in this movie looks quite impressive despite the low budget. The movie’s cast is led by William Hopper (20 Million Miles to Earth). He and the others play good parts.
