City in the Sea (1965)

Nice Sci-Fi Fantasy Adventrue


Been years since I've seen this gem and recently watched it again. I find this one a fun and nice science fiction fantasy. Not true to the writings of Edgar Allan Poe - just loosely based on his work - but it is a neat film. There are a couple of references to Poe and his name is mentioned specifically but that's about the only connection.

Vincent Price is always great to watch - this film is no exception. The character Captain Sir Hugh is a mysterious man who runs "the city in the sea". He has plenty of help along with gill-men guards that patrol the waters. He has found the key to long life - the "fountain of youth" in a way - under the sea.

This one is a worthwhile watch if you are into Vincent Price, sci-fi, fantasy and films with underwater themes.

8/10
