Amazon Prime. It’s also on Tubi.

- this is one of three in a series. The other two "Office of Scientific Investigation" (OSI) trilogy are Riders to the Stars (1954) and Gog (1954).

I found The Magnetic Monster on a lot of lists that came highly recommended.
It's pretty scientific but they also fake some of it really well. They also used old German film footage
of machinery and blended it in.

I was expecting a good amount of cheesiness but it wasn't really all that cheesy for the most part, I guess the title was the cheesiest part.

I was a tiny bit frustrated because the black and white version I found to stream was in pretty bad shape. I ended up opting for the colorized version which was sharper but the colorization was awful. I flipped back and forth for the first 10 minutes to decide. Other than that I got a kick out of it.

Thanks for the recommendation!
