War-Gods of the Deep [DVD] [Region 1] [NTSC]

I remember that this film used to be on TV quite frequently, but not so often anymore (either that or I’m not around watching TV that often haha). If you like an old-fashioned film along the lines of “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” or “Journey to the Center of the Earth” then you’re likely to enjoy this as well. The underwater scenes are, to be frank, quite honest (even though I think they were managed by the same team behind “Thunderball”), but Vincent Price is on excellent form as always, with a welcome cameo appearance from John le Mesurier of “Dad’s Army” fame, which make it worth watching anyway.

Although this is not the better of the two collaborations between director Jacques Tourneur and actor Vincent Price it at least works as well as it does because of those two being involved which helps make this mix of adventure, horror, and sci-fi reasonably entertaining. The production is also surprisingly well-done especially the sets, the action scenes are decent, the pacing is well-done, the score is good, it is predominantly engrossing despite its predictable plot and Price is as enjoyable as ever despite the by the numbers script.

I never quite finished this movie. It felt slow and plodding. I usually love steampunk and Vincent Price. But somehow, for me, this one never quite took off.

This film is great - remember it from my childhood (though in the UK it was known as City Under the Sea)

I expected the DVDt o be for region 2 as it was coming to the UK, luckily I have a machine that will play region 1

Brilliant a really good movie,not bad for an Edgar Allan Poe.

Good film, family entertainment.

Excellent quality well worth the money
