The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms is a 1953 science
fiction film directed by Eugène Lourié and stars
Paul Christian, Paula Raymond and Cecil Kellaway
with visual effects by
Ray Harryhausen. The film is
about an atomic bomb test in the Arctic Circle that
unfreezes a hibernating fictional dinosaur, a
Rhedosaurus, that begins to wreak havoc in New
York City. It was one of the first monster movies
that helped inspire the following generation of
creature features, coining it with the atomic age.
Here's some pictures from the original movie.
