Reviews for The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms
Frankly, I was rooting for the monster.... Watching the beast eat a roller-coaster was especially satisfying.
This enjoyable 'B' oldie is noteworthy not just for establishing a template for the Atomic Age Behemoth flicks that followed.
...admirably stands the test of time. Despite its financial restrictions, it is a solid effort that works on all levels. Not a masterpiece, perhaps, but definitely a classic of its genre...
