CREATURE FROM THE HAUNTED SEA(1961)
In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics
This is a movie not to be taken seriously!!!
Even though this is s farce, this is terrible! D+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
The movie is a deliberately bad b-rated comedy
crime-horror. It was made for giggles and not
meant to be a great crime-drama (it simply
spoofs crime-dramas).
I had a couple of laughs with the film so the
movie is not all that bad but it's not all
that good either. For me it was missing
something; I think it was missing a bit
more comedy-horror because the comedy
crime-drama seemed to dominate the film.
Maybe it was just me expecting more of a
comedy-horror since that is how this film's
genre is labeled.
Don't expect to see the creature/monster
often either because you will not. That
might be part of my disappointment with
the film - not enough monster.
There is an overall drabness to the film
too - as if there was some other element
missing to make the film stand out a bit
more. It's not an overly dull film but it
is a bit on the drab side.
I felt the movie had the potential to be
funnier than it really was. It's not a
down right awful film but it is not a
b-rated film that stands out in the
crowd of "bad but good" b-rated horror
flicks.
I would say this is a good morning or
afternoon film for those who would like
to watch it for the first time. And, for
me personally, the movie really is good
for a one time watch just to say "I've
seen the film".
