Great scifi yarn with lots of imagination which is worth watching on a Sunday afternoon. It was old when I first saw it in 1972 (on TV then under the UK title of City Under The Sea - a title I think suits it better). But well made enough to keep you gripped into the story all the way to the end. Set in a very romantic era similar to the film: 2000 leagues under the sea; it is very Jules Verne in style. Basically the plot is:- haunted house by the coast has young beautiful girl kidnapped by sea monster. Potential boyfriend (plus guests) go in search and meet 200 year old pirates who have not aged at all and live in hiding underground in the sea in what is left of the City of Atlantis with their Atlantis mutant sea monster friends (fishmen). Turns out the girl looks just like their leaders ex-wife (like the story/film SHE). They can stay immortal as long as they stay down there but love and a hugh undersea volcano make their choices for them! Great special effects, some comedy (like in Indiana Jones) and classic melodramatic acting by famous actor Vincent Price. This copy is excellent quality and in colour/widescreen.Much better value for money than the Uk region 2 (City Under The Sea) alternative.Read full review
I had seen this movie on the TV and loved it because it has a chicken in the cast and she is actually mentioned. Love it.

Vincent Price, and Tab Hunter...need I say more? This is a wonderful example of "B" movies horror genre. The story, the acting, the sets, are so tacky, that this is a wonderful movie! This was high "drive-in" fare. Remember, the acting is more scary than the story!
