War-Gods of the Deep [DVD] [Region 1] [NTSC]

Brilliant a really good movie,not bad for an Edgar Allan Poe.

Excellent quality well worth the money

I expected the DVDt o be for region 2 as it was coming to the UK, luckily I have a machine that will play region 1

met all expectations

Good film, family entertainment.

Apparently I have to write something here about this disappointingly childish drivel, otherwise my star rating won't register. :)

War-Gods of the Deep aka The City Under the Sea scared the heck out of me me as a very small kid, but then I did live in a coastal town that was rumored to have it's own sunken town... Vincent Price and his immortal band of smugglers living in a somewhat mislocated Babylonian city under the Cornish stretch of the English Channel didn't have the same effect this time, but Jacques Tourneur's vaguely Poe-inspired subterranean/underwater adventure is still a fun romp thanks to superb production design which makes the film look ten times more expensive than it probably was and great Scope photography with a good use of color from Zulu's Stephen Dade. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a brisk and enjoyable period adventure with more than a passing nod to both Journey to the Center of the Earth and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Plus it has David Tomlinson sharing a diving suit with a chicken while pursued by gill men, and not many films can say that. Aside from a couple of moments of negative damage the 2.35:1 widescreen transfer is surprisingly good. The only extra is the US theatrical trailer.
