It Came From Beneath The Sea, Highly entertaining monster movie has a Navy ship hitting something in the ocean so they hire two scientists to discover what it was. They learn that it was a huge octopus but the government doesn’t believe them until it starts attacking more people and ending in destroying San Francisco. Needless to say, Ray Harryhausen’s special effects are the highlight of this film and they still hold up very well. The octopus looks very realistic and the close up of the creatures tentacles look incredibly well. The scene with the monster tearing down the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the best scenes from this eras monster movies. I wish there had been more of the monster as it doesn’t come into the film until rather late and it gets second billing after a love story that really doesn’t go anywhere and is quite predictable.
