Monster from the Ocean Floor

Monster from the Ocean Floor is a typical 1954 monster movie produced by Roger Corman. It was made on a budget of $12,000 or $30,000, depending on who you ask. It grossed $185,000 or $850,000, depending on who you ask. Critics didn't think much of the movie, but were impressed with what Corman did with such a low budget. Today it is remembered as the movie that made Corman (who was around 25 at the time) fall in love with filmmaking. (Thanks, WTM!)
