At least 56 of those points are for the amaz-balls story of Jim Wynorski cutting the trailer with scenes not in the movie and the initial audience rioting in the theater. Corman's response? "You put butts in seats. It's ok."

This is exactly what a horror movie should offer: Victorian plot, semi-scientific premise, some tie to the occult or at least mysterious, and people who deserve to survive and do so by sheer gumption, leaving wreckage and carnage in their wake. In terms of entertainment, this movie is near-perfect, so get out of here with that "deep" critique.

They could've done so much more with this story but alas it was not to be. The little gore we get is pretty good but the pacing and acting brought the film down.

Relatively tame compared to more gory and entertaining Italian horror creature films. The Fishmen were kind of neat, though.

I'm not convinced it even works on its own terms - as a schlocky, camp, adventure-horror. There's rarely any fun to be had in this one.
