Movie Info

Seasoned serial director Spencer Gordon Bennett helmed this story of a one-eyed, octopoidal space alien, wreaking havoc upon atomic subs at the North Pole. The monster is determined to take over the world, though it seems ill equipped for that purpose. Heroes Arthur Franz, Dick Foran, and Brett Halsey head underwater to neutralize the alien's submerged flying saucer. The cast is peopled with such veterans as Tom Conway, Bob Steele, Victor Varconi, Selmer Jackson, and Jack Mulhall. Movie buffs

There's so much going on in the shoestring gem that is The Atomic Submarine that it seems only incidentally science fiction.

Even for a meager exploitation film, The Atomic Submarine isn't anything to brag about.

Fun classic ?B? picture, a very entertaining sci-fi monster movie from the 1950?s, the low budget makes it more entertaining. The special effects are not very good, but I have always liked these old sci-fi/horror movies from this era.

60/100. Fun classic "B" picture, a very entertaining sci-fi monster movie from the 1950's, the low budget makes it more entertaining. The special effects are not very good, but I have always liked these old sci fi/horror movies from this era.
