Editorial Review:
An atomic submarine cruising the Pacific discovers a gargantuan octopus concealed in the ocean depths. By the time they figure out that the monster is the nasty by-product of a hydrogen bomb experiment gone awry the creature is already well on its way to destroying San Francisco. The sea creature is yet another fantastic example of masterful stop-motion animation from the technique's master Ray Harryhausen.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY/FANTASY UPC: 043396226203 Manufacturer No: 22620

Yet another Ray Harryhausen film from the 1950's has just been released on DVD in a two disc special edition. It Came from Beneath the Sea comes in between The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers. It's probably the least of those three films but I always liked this one even more than "Earth Vs..." This is such a product of the 1950's when the paranoia over nuclear testing was at its highest. The result was a plethora of films featuring all manner of radioactive-spawned ... Read More

Well, it's nice to have the color and the HH voiceover but it's really a pretty cheesy movie and can barely hold your attention throughout. This is sophomoric at best. HH can barely remember anything about it as it was so long ago but at least he is given the reverence he is due. So, all in all, an improvement on the original but it has only made the old cheddar slightly more palatable than before. The fact that it sells for such a low price anyway pretty much illustrates the minor target audience ... Read More

Another great sci fi from the 50's.. I can remember hidding behind the seat at the theater everytime the aliens showed up . Great old classic!!! Plus a very excellant job with the colorization process.!!!!
Rating: - It came from beneath the colorization process
Anything by Ray Harryhausen's stop motion effects is worthy of praise, this is another one of those films my mother told me me about when I was younger and I appreciated the sheer coolness of a giant octopus attacking San Fransisco, it's cool in B&W and just as cool in color but it just takes a tad away from it when you colorize these old B&W movies but what makes this version really cool is that you can switch between B&W/Color while the movie is playing or you can watch one or the other as both versions ...

Rating: - WWII Philosophy: Search and Destroy
By the time IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA was released in 1955, the Second World War had been over only for 10 years, and America had not forgotten the lessons so harshly learned--find the enemy, engage the enemy, and destroy the enemy. Hollywood was in the early phases of releasing a series of films that dealt with Bug Eyed Monsters of various sorts, and this one is typical of the genre. H bomb explosions cause an oversized octopus to rise from the deepest recesses of the Marianas Trench to seek the food ... Read More
