Amazon Prime has a very nice print of Atomic Submarine available. It’s no classic, but it’s a perfect little ’50s cheapie.

    Criterion actually put out a nice copy of this.

    Haven’t seen this yet but I did see his son/daughter in a trash compactor in the Death Star.

    Will give ‘Atomic Submarine’ a look!

    Imagine the graft and corruption involved in someone deciding the Death Star needed a trash compactor.

  • Gamera977

    Well, the Death Star was environmentally conscious. I mean it recycled Alderaan didn’t it?

  • With a living creature in it, yet!

    Yes, in the Monsters and Madmen set, with Corridors of Blood, First Man into Space and The Haunted Strangler. I believe it’s out of print, but hopefully they’ll either port it over to Blu Ray soon or else include the films in a larger mega-set like their upcoming ’70s Sci-Fi set.

  • Rock Baker

    And what a cast!

  • Eric Hinkle

    The Empire, fighting overpopulation since 1977!

    What is that thing, a cousin of the Crawling Eye?

  • Beckoning Chasm

    As Ken notes, it’s not great…the last act is the best part, most of the rest is routine. And there’s a “Green Slime” “You didn’t follow orders!” “I couldn’t!” bit in there.

    Closer to It Came From Outer Space, I’d think.
