AHMP: Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
























Subject: The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.
1953, Dir. Eugène Lourié.

Preliminary remarks:
A full year before atomic testing released Godzilla upon Tokyo, atomic testing released this beast from 20,000 fathoms upon New York City.  Who knows what waits for us in nature's no-man's land?  I do.  It's in the damn poster.

ANALYSIS:
From where, you say?  I'll wait here.  This could take a while.

Oh, I'll beg to differ.

Well no shit, asshole.

"Thanks, dood.  I completely lost track of it for a minute there."

Are you fucking kidding me?!

I'm not sure what's worse: the halitosis or the excessive draining of the ballasts.  I HOPE YOU DIE, YOU MURDERING BASTARD!!!  Ahem, sorry.  Lost control in all the horror for a second.

Conclusion: decent poster, somewhat over-the-top, just plain fun.  B.

  1. What the hell's going on with the comic book speech bubble? Utterly ruins the poster.

  2. Totally, it's all sorts of lame. I guess they felt the rest of the work just couldn't stand on its own two legs.
