The Film that Inspired Godzilla
We first had 'King Kong' (1933) then a pause in large monsters ravaging the cities movies up until '20,000 Fathoms'. This movie inspired several big creature flicks - including 'Godzilla'!
What I really love about this movie and other sci-fi horror of the 1950s is they usually don't waste time getting to the monster - and this film is no exception. We get to see The Beast within minutes of the movie starting.
Great film for what it is. Would pair very with with movies like: "Them!", "Godzilla", "Gamera" or even "King Kong".
Grab a big bag of popcorn and enjoy the crazy fun nonsense of "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms"!!
8.5/10
