The Phantom from 10,000 Legues


 

A 1955 science fiction directed by Dan Milner, and starring Kent Taylor, Kathy Downs and Michael Whalen. In black and white, yet you would think it was in colour by the stunning sunny beach scenes. 

A mad scientist put a dangerous device in the sea to find out what radiation does to marine life. It resulted in a mutated creature that was created from the radioactive energy given off by the machine in the sea. When people are found dead on the beach, it draws attention to biologist Dr Ted Stevens and the local authorities. Meanwhile, there is a mystery to unravel and it isn't just the sea monster to watch out for!

The pier seen throughout the film got destroyed by a giant wave years later. The biggest star of the film was the sea monster, played by Nina Hanson, who appeared in Women Divers Hall of Fame in 2001. The film is quite a decent sci-fi flick for summer and it gets a 5/10.
