Sci-Fi Classic Review: THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS (1953)

This proto-Godzilla flick set the stage not only for the giant monster craze that continues to this day, but it also launched the solo career of one of the greatest special effects wizards in film history. If you're looking for a "review" in the traditional sense, then let me just say I like this movie. This video, however, is a "review" in the literal sense (using the Miriam-Webster definition "a retrospective view or survey"), in that I'm going over the history of the film and its place in sci-fi cinema history. http://www.emagill.com/   / emagill     / writeremagill     / e_magill   Related video reviews: Them!
