Edward K Laughably bad. This would be a good movie for the Drive-In. Silly story. Terrible acting. Bad special effects. Annoying music. Must have been a really low budget, because they only have three sets plus the beach and underwater. And what's with that tiny row boat which Everyone in the film is using?! LOL . It's so bad that you'd think it was an Ed Wood film. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Dylan B *Some Spoilers* Really weird movie, not really bad but I wouldn't recommend watching this as a monster movie. I'm pretty sure the actual monster is in it for only three minutes, and those three minutes are easily the best scenes in the movie. The monster costume looks horrible, I think this was one of the only monster movies at the time to not use a slow motion monster, which was likely because the film had a fairly small budget, but I'm not sure if what I said was true. The phantom is some guy in a suit swimming around and it was hilarious to watch. Its mannerisms made it seem like the phantom was extremely stupid and was only dangerous in the sense it could bump its head into things and grab people. In the first scene despite the fact the guy dies, it's laughable to see the monster look around while the guy's swimming for his life, removing the tension for me as it felt like the monster didn't understand its own strenght. However the rest of the movie is very slow and talky. Most of it is just people trying to figure what the phantom is while there's this plot about these two people trying to break into King's office that from what I could tell had nothing to do with the monster. The acting is whatever, the movie isn't really bad per se but there likely won't be any repeat watches. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review ryan f Not at all that this was a great movie, but I have seen far worse movies from the time frame. Still, this movie suffered from some bad acting performances, a silly looking monster & a plot point that popped up out of nowhere then inexplicably disappeared again Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Poorly made cheap sci-fi horror film about fish-man creature mutated by radiation. There's a ridiculous story involving spies and espionage, but this film is so unbelievably cheap, poorly acted, poorly written, poorly directed, and overall poorly made that there are really no redeeming qualities to recommend watching this film. Overall, "The Phantom from 10,000 Leagues" is a bad creature-feature even by American International Pictures standards. Not even interesting on a so-bad-it's-good level of entertainment. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Very low budget and a pretty silly concept but the film manages to achieve some real elements of suspense and creepiness at times. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The Phantom From 10,000 Leagues is a real stinker of a 50's B movie. It almost reaches levels of Ed Wood quality, but without the charm that Ed Wood's movies had. First of all, the phantom itself is barely in the movie at all, and is finally not a part of the main plot by the end of the movie. It's more about the radiation, murder and mystery more than anything else. The acting is just awful in this movie too, including the lead actor who was totally not right for his part. This film was also produced by American Releasing Corporation, which would later become American International Pictures, or AIP. For those who've seen their films, you can imagine what kind of quality you'll get out of this one. It's pretty bad all around and not even in an enjoyable way. It's boring, predictable and has no real redeeming value to it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
