DVD Review: "Creature from the Haunted Sea (1961) ... Roger Corman ... Legend Films (2008)"
Summary: 5 Stars
Legend Films presents "CREATURE FROM THE HAUNTED SEA" (June 1961) (63 mins) (Fully Restored/Dolby Digitally Remastered) --- now in COLOR and Glorious Black and White --- If you like campy B-rated movies this one does not disappoint --- It is filled with many "what the ...." moments that keep you entertained in this otherwise slow flick including a musical interlude, a convenient pay phone, and tourist savvy natives --- Not to mention Sigmund the sea monster's older "green trash" cousin and the most lethal toilet plunger in history --- All in all one of the best campy films I have yet found - recommend with lots of friends and beverages
Under the production staff of:
Roger Corman - Director / Producer
Monte Hellman - Director
Susan Olney - Producer
Barry Sandrew - Producer
Charles B. Griffith - Screenwriter
Jacques Marquette - Cinematographer
Fred Katz - Composer (Music Score)

Story line and plot, is a monster movie concerning a Government Agent (Robert Towne) is chasing gangster Renzo Capeto (Anthony Carbone),a mobster likeness to Bogart who along with his fiancée (Betsy Jones Moreland) and underlings are aboard ship with a group of exiled Cubans --- Renzo schemes a plot to invent a mythical sea monster to eliminate the Cubans and steal the national treasure --- The film is a horror comedy blending parody, humor and suspense.The comedy has some moments here and there --- Clearly this film was never meant to be taken as seriously as some seem to take it --- The biggest flaw with it however is it's too slow-moving...it takes forever before we get any kind of resolution --- The highly entertaining rampage of the Monster at the end does make up for somewhat for the slow opening half --- But once again I recommend this only for Corman staunchest fans.
the cast includes:
Antony Carbone ... Renzo Capetto
Betsy Jones-Moreland ... Mary-Belle Monahan
Robert Towne ... Sparks Moran / Agent XK150 / Narrator (as Edward Wain)
Beach Dickerson ... Petet Peterson Jr.

Description of Creature from the Haunted Sea - In COLOR! Also Includes the Restored Black-and-White Version!
Robert Towne (screenwriter Chinatown) assumes a pseudonym to star in Roger Corman's Creature from the Haunted Sea. Renzo Capetto, a dastardly gangster, intends to smuggle a fortune out of Cuba, and it's up to Towne to infiltrate his gang. When he does, he discovers that Capetto's plan is to kill off his crew and blame their deaths on the mythical "Creature from the Haunted Sea." Little does he know that the actual creature may make his plan all too easy to pull off! In typical Corman fashion, the terror takes a backseat to the laughs. With campy performances, a zilch-o budget and a truly hilarious "monster", this "Creature" is a must "Sea" for any B-movie fan!Bestsellers in DVD
