War-Gods of the Deep is a delightful popcorn movie – not dreadfully deep, but eminently enjoyable. It deals with a trio (Tab Hunter, David Tomlinson, Susan Hart) staying at a manor on the  Cornish coast in 1903, where the house is burgled by … mermen? Who later proceed to kidnap the woman, sending the two men — and a chicken — in pursuit, where they find a group of smugglers, living deep beneath the sea, near an active volcano, and led by the iconic Vincent Price.

Review

Buy from Amazon Vincent Price is well-known for playing the role of the sympathetic monster. And here, as a once-great artist named Jarrod, his hands ruined, confined to a wheelchair, he’s definitely sympathetic. And, literally with a tragic backstory.

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad is best remembered as a Ray Harryhausen special effects extravaganza.  And as a huge fan of Ray Harryhausen’s work, I certainly appreciate the great work that he did here.  But a film has to be more than special effects; and thankfully, this film is more than great special effects. The acting is good, with characters that the audience care about.  Also, the effects enhance the story and don’t take it over.

King Kong Escapes is, in fact, one of the cheesiest monster movies of all time — with special effects by Rankin-Bass. No, seriously. It’s enjoyable, cheesy fluff that doesn’t take itself very seriously, which is a good thing. The plot is convoluted, but here goes:
