It Came from Beneath the Sea (Standard Edition)

A giant octopus rises from the depths to terrorise the port of San Francisco...This impressive creature-feature was one of Ray Harryhausen's earliest showcases for his extraordinary effects. It was also the film that brought him to Columbia and into partnership with producer Charles H Schneer, with whom he would create some of the best-loved fantasy and science fiction films of the twentieth century.ExtrasHigh Definition remasters of the original black & white and authorised alternative colour versionsOriginal mono audioAlternative 5.1 surround sound trackAudio commentary with Ray Harryhausen, documentary producer Arnold Kunert, and visual effects artists Randall William Cook and John BrunoTidal Wave of Terror!
