By the time they figure out that the monster is the nasty by-product of a hydrogen bomb experiment gone awry, the creature is already well on its way to destroying San Francisco. The sea creature is yet another fantastic example of masterful stop-motion animation from the technique's master, Ray Harryhausen. [More]

Reviews for It Came From Beneath the Sea
Harryhausen wasn't yet on top of his game, but the special effects still were the feeble film's best feature.
Of course, in perspective it's all a fun kind of bad and any Cahiers du Cinema critique dissolves on contact.
