I suppose the reviewer is spot on in his assessment of this film, but I’m going to reserve the right to still like The Deadly Mantis. It was a film I watched as a child, no doubt, on Chiller Theater hosted by Chilly Billy Cardille. I was a true monster kid growing up the the late 60s and 70s, and Mantis was pretty standard fair on my monster diet. Check out the review below, and the go find this film if you haven’t seen it.
