Creature From The Haunted Sea (BritTrax)

[peephalk]

I may be in the minority, but these guys just keep getting better:

Creature from the Haunted Sea (with Matthew J. Elliott and Ian Potter)

How do you tell a coherent story featuring Cuban mercenaries, a secret agent, a budding romance between individuals from entirely alien cultures, and a fearsome monster? Don't ask anyone who worked on this movie, because they don't know either.

Legend has it that not everything filmed for Last Woman on Earth ended up on screen (let that sink in), and so Roger Corman, with his impeccable artistic eye, saw there was real potential in the excised footage that less bold filmmakers might have just thrown in the trash. So, using actors recycles from Last Woman on Earth, a plot and title recycled from Beast of the Haunted Cave and a monster recycled from some recycling, Corman exquisitely knocked together this motion picture over he course of seven days, and still somehow had the weekend off.

RiffTrax Presents is proud to RiffTrax Present this masterwork, lovingly recolored by unhappy people, and talked over by two guys with weird accents.

I'm a fan, so I'm always happy to see another effort from the Brits.

Thanks muchly, and I agree -- they're very solid members of the riff crew and the dry British humour suits the medium well.

I'm not sure how much of that is actually true because as terrible as it is Last Woman on Earth was written by Robert Towne and Creature from the Haunted Sea is credited to Charles B. Griffith who wrote a lot of Corman's early films including Not of This Earth, A Bucket Of Blood, and A Little Shop of Horrors.  He also worked for Corman at New World on Death Race 2000 and Eat My Dust and did Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hype at Cannon.  He never seems to get any love from B-movie fans who give director Roger Corman all of the credit for his early B-movies and Paul Bartel all of the credit for Death Race 2000.  That doesn't make Creature From the Haunted Sea any better but I think Griffith was a pretty good writer for someone who probably had to churn out a lot of those scripts in a week. But Hollywood Boulevard was (hilariously) filled with recycled footage so you could be absolutely right about Creature From the Haunted Sea.
