      christopher c. m Honestly, it's very slow, almost boring at times. But Vincent Price is always great a villain. And the evil Captain is no exception. The fish men monsters could have been better, even in 1965. But is has a goofy charm, it's not a high recommendation. But it's a must for Vincent Price completionists. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review martin a Vincent Price hams it up like no other actor ever could and plays the evil captain with his crew of smugglers who escaped the law over 100 years ago, by finding the sunken city that preserves life, but time is running out and an underwater volcano is threatening to end it all. So a kidnapped girl, a chicken, an artist, and a handsome young man (tab hunter) end up trapped in the city and must try to escape alive before the city is destroyed. Some shaky underwater costumes showing creatures with diving gear on under the monster costumes and scenes shot in clearly shallow water do not distract from this fun timepiece. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Bernard K Great movie sets and video, but the acting was horrible, and the story was very corny. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/28/20 Full Review Audience Member Disappointing final film for director Jacques Tourneur. Supposedly based upon an Edgar Allen Poe poem, Tab Hunter and his compatriots find themselves sucked into a mysterious Victorian Era underwater city run by Vincent Price. The film does have a bit of a proto-steampunk/BioShock feel that's kind of fun and director Tourneur does manage to include a few striking shots here and there, but overall this is one of the weaker AIP Poe films and not really worth watching. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member so bad it's good from the director of original 'cat people' Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Tacky and lacking in all the wrong areas, ´War Gods´is a sad end to Torneur´s distinguished career. Price and Tomlinson try, and the sets are not half bad, but a dull script, idiotic characters and a lack of fun kill it dead.

      Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It's one of the blander of these fantasy forays, perhaps due in part to the minimum of action and monsters. Rated: 3/10 Aug 27, 2020 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A bit of a disappointment. Rated: C+ Sep 19, 2012 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Aug 1, 2005 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Enjoyable but flawed swan-song for director Tourneur.
