Monster from the Ocean Floor 03/15/25

How can such a tiny production be so noteworthy?  Roger Corman’s cleverly-assembled monster romp has simplicity and sincerity going for it, not to mention Floyd Crosby’s handsome cinematography and a winning leading lady in Anne Kimbell. It’s a producer’s picture, made on a shoestring just as the studios’ domination of the industry was on the wane. Much more than a curio, and quite satisfying in its own way. Tom Weaver’s commentary features great input from producer Corman. On Blu-ray from Film Masters.
