Newly Re-mastered in HD! They Became Pawns In A War Beneath The Waves! Master of suspense and horror Vincent Price (The Oblong Box) takes on square-jawed Tab Hunter (Damn Yankees!) in this fantastic underwater tale teeming with adventure! Based on an Edgar Allen Poe (Tales of Terror) story and co-starring David Tomlinson (Mary Poppins) and Susan Hart (Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine), this turbulent thriller pits gill-men against he-men, with a sexy woman caught between and surges with excitement from initial fade-in to climatic fadeout. When a slimy, gilled monster from the deep kidnaps the beautiful Jill (Hart) it'll take her boyfriend (Hunter), his sidekick (Tomlinson) and his sidekick's sidekick - a rooster - to get her back! Following her trail into the deep, they are shocked to discover a lost underwater city, ruled by a ruthless captain (Price) and an army of mutated sea creatures, who imprison the hapless landlubbers... while a restless volcano threatens to bury them all! Directed by the great Jacques Tourneur (I Walked with a Zombie).

Review :
Should've gone deeper.
AIP's main contribution to the horror genre in the 60's was their series of "Poe adaptions." If Poe wrote down a grocery list it became a movie starring Vincent Price. And many of these were fine efforts. But most such movies (including some from other studios which also starred Price) stuck slavishly to this formula, even using it for movies based on the writings of other authors. By 1965 the formula had degenerated, as formulas are wont to do. Poe, Lovecraft and Verne adaptions all felt basically the same. And War Gods of the Deep is no different than any of them (Compare Die, Monster, Die; House of Usher; Master of the World; The Mysterious Island and this film and you'll see what I mean.) It is nominally based on City Under The Sea, but is more in keeping with Captain Nemo than Edgar Allen.
Director Jacques Tourneur was a tremendous filmmaker who helmed some of the defining genre pieces of the 40's: Cat People, I Walked With a Zombie and Out of the Past. His career...
Solid
War-Gods Of The Deep is one of those films whose title really makes no sense, but is right in keeping with the whole tenor of the film. It was made in 1965, the first of the famed American International Pictures post-Roger Corman Edgar Allan Poe-themed horror and sci fi films of the 1960s, that started with The House Of Usher in 1960, and was a part of the Big Four of horror and sci fi films of that era. The three other competitors in the field were the giant monster films from Japan (Godzilla, Mothra, Gammera, etc.), the stop motion action-adventure-monster films of Ray Harryhausen, and the British Hammer Studios horror films. That War-Gods Of The Deep was set in England, even though made by AIP, and featuring two American B film superstars like Vincent Price and Tab Hunter, and based upon a poem by American poet and writer Poe, is just one of its many ironies. Yet, that still does not explain its odd title. The alternate title was The City Under The Sea, which makes sense, since...
SO BAD IT'S, WELL, BAD
With little fanfare, MGM has quietly transferred a handful of great B films to DVD that they not too arbitrarily categorize as "Midnight Movies." The nice looking digital prints are in their original theatrical format and appear as if they were taken from original material. The discs come with no substantial extras but care has been lavished on the box art, often reflecting the lurid lobby cards and posters of their initial release. Even acknowledging the B category, these are for the most part well-crafted and, well, adequately acted.
In "WAR GODS OF THE DEEP," the late and much-lamented Vincent Price co-stars with 50s pretty boy Tab Hunter in an adaptation of an Edgar Allan Poe story that pits he-men against gill-men with sexy Susan Hart caught in the middle.
See, Price is uberlord of a lost underwater city (apparently built by a low bid papier mache developer), and he's got gillgoons that kidnap landubbers. The second half is a showdown between brave humans and slimy...
