Creature From The Haunted Sea

Creature From The Haunted Sea
1961 - 63 mins

As befits a Corman horror-comedy from the turn of the 60’s, the script for Creature from the Haunted Sea is absolute mayhem. The film manages to parody American gangsters, spy movies, Cuban exiles and revolutionaries and monster movies laced with enough satire to make the entire mix very enjoyable. The plot centers on a gang of criminals who offer to transport a band of exiles from communist Cuba - and a strong box of the treasury, which they intends to keep for themselves. »
