There have been some good low budget sea monster movies but this most emphatically is not among their number as it fails on every level-acting ,effects ,script and photography .
When Professor King ,played by Michael Whalen ,begins experimenting with an underwater atomic light there is an unforseeen consequence -the creation of a mutant combination of a turtle and an alligator (and clearly played by a performer in a rubber monster suit).To add a layer of cold war paranoia to the plot we also have a secondary story in which the Soviets set out to steal the light and the intrepid US ...

This was a waste of time. When watching this movie the real challange is to stay focused and watch the whole thing through. The photography is dismal to say the least, the monster is another rubber suit that was recycled from/into other monsters from this genre, and the plot is dreadful.
For a one word review, imagine Homer Simpson's voice here.... "Boring."

PHANTOM FROM 10,000 LEAGUES is one of those movies that induces a state of near-hypnosis, before deep REM sleep sets in. Kent Taylor could well be the dullest leading man to ever saunter onto a movie set! His Dr. Ted Stevens is a snore-a-minute mannequin in a suit. Anyway, Stevens must investigate a series of deaths (don't worry, they're boring too) that have occurred at the hands (fins) of a creature, obviously designed / constructed by a team of monkeys with mittens on. This "phantom" is almost as frightening as Sigmund The Sea Monster, and looks nowhere near as realistic. Of course, radiation ... Read More

I am so amazed to see people spending so much time watching and reviewing this movie! I thought my family was the only group left on the earth to watch it! I am especially impressed by your fine observations about the unweildy monster suit! And I am equally amused by your observations about the poor man in the suit!
Here is the secret you have all been dying to know--it wasn't a man in that suit, but a woman! In fact it was my grandmother, Norma Hanson. And the young teenage girl on the beach with the boy was my mother! So you can see my family has reason to sit around and watch ... Read More

Okay, I certainly had no illusions of grandeur when I popped this one into the DVD player, and neither should you. The Phantom From 10,000 Leagues? A more apt title would be the Guy in the Cheap Monster Suit From 20 Feet (or 0.00109730 Leagues, if you want to get technical)...
The film, directed by Dan Milner and presented by Samuel Z. Arkoff and James H. Nicholson (hence the incredibly cheapness of the entire affair) stars Kent Taylor, who also starred as Boston Blackie in the television series of the same name along with various cinematic wonders as The Crawling Hand (1963), Brides of ...
