Rating: - Not bad, but still campy!
What can I say? I grew up on these movies. There is a bit of nostalgia for me. I have to say that even though these movies are a bit dated [and campy], they are still fun to see
Rating: - Vincent Price Saves This Double Feature From Sinking Beneath The Earth
Based on an Edgar Allan Poe poem, "War Gods of the Deep" is the superior of this double feature. Vincent Price gives a great performance (as always); he is an evil captain who is determined to prevent a volcano from erupting and destroying the ancient, underwater city that he and his crewman have commandeered. He has developed a friendship with gill men who resemble the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Excellent performances are given from all especially Tab Hunter and David Tomlinson who starred in Walt Disney's "Mary Poppins" and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks." Tomlinson and his silly pet ...

Rating: - Cheap Entertainment, But That's It
Double ouch!!
"War Gods of the Deep" is one of Vincent Price's weakest films, and he appears disinterested throughout. Tab Hunter is unbearably stiff, and the "comic relief" provided by David Tomlinson and a chicken isn't funny in the slightest. Shoddy special effects and a shoddier plotline drag this movie way, way down (to the bottom of the sea, shall we say?).
"At the Earth's Core" manages to sink even lower. Doug McClure plays his role over the top, and the "comic relief" provided by a buffoonish Peter Cushing isn't funny either. The monsters in this film are so ... Read More
Rating: - Subterranean hokum at it's finest!
War-Gods of the Deep aka The City Under the Sea scared the heck out of me me as a very small kid, but then I did live in a coastal town that was rumored to have it's own sunken town... Vincent Price and his immortal band of smugglers living in a somewhat mislocated Babylonian city under the Cornish stretch of the English Channel didn't have the same effect this time, but Jacques Tourneur's vaguely Poe-inspired subterranean/underwater adventure is still a fun romp thanks to superb production design which makes the film look ten times more expensive than it probably was and great Scope photography ...

Rating: - Price, Cushing and McClure!
This Beneath-The-Surface themed double feature from MGM is pretty mediocre. Neither film is really bad, but neither are anything to write home about either. War Gods Of The Deep starts things off. Basically Tab Hunter(who looks like an early prototype for Casper Van Dien) and David Tomlinson(with a pet chicken in a picnic basket) go searching for Susan Hart, who has vanished from her bedroom. Finding that old reliable secret passage behind the bookshelf they find themselves going deeper and deeper into a cave til they end up in a city beneath the sea ruled by Vincent Price. Price kidnapped the ... Read More
