As a result of an arctic nuclear test, a carnivorous dinosaur thaws out and starts making its way down the east coast of North America. Professor Tom Nesbitt, only witness to the beast's existence, is not believed, even when he identifies it as a "rhedosaurus" to paleontologist Thurgood Elson. All doubts disappear, however, when Elson is swallowed whole during an oceanic bathysphere excursion to search for the creature. Soon thereafter the rhedosaurus emerges from the sea and lays waste to Manhattan Island until Nesbitt comes up with a plan to try to stop the seemingly indestructible beast.
Leave your thoughts about The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzLovable bad sci-fi film that overcomes its slight story and flat acting with wonderful cheesy special effects. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe work of Ray Harryhausen is front and center in this solid effort. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonClumsy in some very key ways at the script level, it's nevertheless an exemplary B-picture. |
| StarburstLuke SpaffordThe Beast from 20,000 Fathoms provides an ample, if not slightly stodgy, slice of B-movie pie that's improved by the sprinkling of Harryhausen's cream on top. |
| Suite101.comRob HumanickThe third act - a rampage through New York comprised of stop-motion, miniatures, rear projection and other layering processes - ensures that all was worthwhile. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanThis 50s bis Beastie movie is still a romp despite obviously dated effects. |
| User ReviewChris WA brilliant monster film, well paced and with a brilliant monster. One of the true greats! |
| User ReviewDann LRay Harryhausen is a God! Terrific fifties monster movie. Especially when the NYC cop stands up to the monster for the first (and last) time. |
| User ReviewBruce BThis has got to be the best Monster movie ever made. It's got action to die for, great scenes of suspense and will have you at the edge of your seat. I will go as far to say that this could be one of the best movies ever made..... |
| User ReviewDan KA giant monster awakened by nuclear fallout invades NYC. |
