It Came From Beneath the Sea

Nice Harryhausen effects! Overall it's a by the numbers 1950's monster flick, but the excellent stop motion effects and a strong cast make it work...more or less. Not the best of the subgenre but it's not bad.

GREAT little movie-doesn't always make any sense, but too much fun to quibble about.

The Crime of Dr Crespi based on Edgar Allan Poe.

The film is 1935 and stars director Erich Von Stroheim as Dr. Crespi.

He develops a serum that puts his enemies into a catatonic state whereby they are still alive but seem dead. He then buries them alive.

The interest for me is the fact that actor Dwight Frye ( who had cornered the market on hunchbacks and other weird characters in the Frankenstein and Dracula films) plays Dr. Thomas. He is third billed in the cast and this is the biggest role he had in any film.

Still in the era of talkies where at time parts can seem somewhat hammy.

More of a mystery/thriller than a horror but the premises of putting someone into a catatonic state and burying them alive does qualify it for the horror genre.

The IMDB rates it 5.3 out of 10.

Very old film but still interesting. Especially seeing Dwight Frye in a more normal type role.

Try it!

Through The Glass Darkly, 1961, 9/10


Thumb resize.


One of the greatest directors ever to peer into the human soul..

To see “through a glass” — a mirror — “darkly” is to have an obscure or imperfect vision of reality.

Rosemary's Baby-1968.

I hadn't watched this since I was little, so it was like seeing it for the first time. It kind of made me want to get pregnant. Has anyone here seen Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby??? I hear horrible things.
