Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

TM_Rezzek Sure, it's a Roger Corman quickie clocking in at 63 minutes, but it's 63 minutes of spy, gangster, and monster movie spoofing that's anchored by hilarious, deadpan narration written by Chuck Griffith. Add to it a dose of surrealism here and there (a phone booth on a deserted beach with someone who looks like Corman himself waiting to use the phone) and you have an idiosyncratic, low-budget winner. Corman was producing and directing films at such a furious pace during this time, he would take chances on trying something different as long as there was a script and a story. By the way, the animated opening credits sum up the tone perfectly!

Rainey Dawn The movie is a deliberately bad b-rated comedy crime-horror. It was made for giggles and not meant to be a great crime-drama (it simply spoofs crime-dramas).I had a couple of laughs with the film so the movie is not all that bad but it's not all that good either. For me it was missing something; I think it was missing a bit more comedy-horror because the comedy crime-drama seemed to dominate the film. Maybe it was just me expecting more of a comedy-horror since that is how this film's genre is labeled.Don't expect to see the creature/monster often either because you will not. That might be part of my disappointment with the film - not enough monster.There is an overall drabness to the film too - as if there was some other element missing to make the film stand out a bit more. It's not an overly dull film but it is a bit on the drab side.I felt the movie had the potential to be funnier than it really was. It's not a down right awful film but it is not a b-rated film that stands out in the crowd of "bad but good" b-rated horror flicks.I would say this is a good morning or afternoon film for those who would like to watch it for the first time. And, for me personally, the movie really is good for a one time watch just to say "I've seen the film".4.5/10

Claudio Carvalho After the Cuban Revolution, the mobster Renzo Capetto (Antony Carbone) and his lover Mary-Belle Monahan (Betsy Jones-Moreland) transport a group of exiled Cubans led by General Tostada (Edmundo Rivera Alvarez) to the United States with a Cuban treasure to finance a counterrevolution against Castro. However, Renzo and his gang formed by Pete Peterson Jr. (Beech Dickerson), Happy Jack Monahan (Robert Bean) and Sparks Moran (Edward Wain), who is indeed the American Agent XK150, plan to steal the treasure from the Cuban people.They fabricate a sea monster to change the course to San Juan and kill Cuban soldiers. However they discover that the creature does exist and is attacking them all."Creature from the Haunted Sea" is an awfully lame and silly Z-movie by Roger Corman. The comedy and the horror never works and the acting, direction, narration, effects and make-up are really dreadful. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Criaturas do Fundo do Mar" {"Creatures from the Bottom of the Sea")

Michael O'Keefe When silly becomes just plain stupid. Grab some buds; then gather a few friends for a hoot. From Roger Corman comes the CREATURE from the HAUNTED SEA. Lower than low-budget film about a petty hoodlum named Renzo(Antony Carbone), who thinks he has stumbled into a fortune when he makes a deal with remnants of a Cuban revolution. He allows Cuban officers and soldiers to board his recreation boat with a chest full of ill gotten money. The boat with an inept crew and Renzo's girlfriend Mary-Belle(Betsy Jones-Moreland)heads out to sea and points unknown. Renzo schemes to bump off the Cubans and blame the deaths on a sea creature...not knowing there is a real creature wanting to attack his boat. Absolutely ridiculous. Not bad enough to be good; if you know what I mean. Other players: Robert Bean, Beach Dickerson, Esther Sandoval and Robert Towne, who also narrates. The screenplay is credited to Charles B. Griffith.
