Really bad movies are often so annoying that one cannot watch but this somewhat campy movie seems to work better. Eddy played by Dawn Wildsmith with the smart remarks really helps the movie. When she is not saying lines, she is still acting with facial and body reactions.

This more like an old 50's B monster movie updated.

The actors for the most part deliver their lines seriously rather than trying to be part of the joke by over emphasis is what makes this movie very watchable.

The effects are definitely low grade and the stop motion animation is quite poor,

Yes it is silly but tolerable.

I was disappointed by the movie and still trying to figure out the primary goal. There the references to World War I and JP Morgan but never fully explained . If it was about a zealous senator then it also left that unexplored. The typical tact is to blame Ismay but history shown he was not at fault. The topic is to complex to cover in the time of the film.

I have read about 75% of the senate transcripts so I was able to judge accuracy. They cherry picked some quotes that were not validated by others or not quoted exactly. For example, Fleet, the lookout testified that they usually had binoculars but he did not say if he had them it would have prevented it. Others testified they are not useful at night. Also all testified there was little panic on the ship as shown in movie. All testified that most women that presented themselves got on a boat. Many stayed below (maybe due to the cold) and even many (including crew) did not expect it to sink. What I got out of it was that it took a long time to get all the boats out and by the time it was obvious it would sink many hard already left.

Smith was very aggressive in the hearing looking for someone to blame (Ismay, telegraph operators, British Board of Trade, White Star exec, boat loading, etc.) and was criticized for his lack of knowledge of shipping.

I actually thought this movie was decent. It had all star (mostly 60s era TV actors) cast and most did a decent job acting despite the script. Most of the key actors also starred in the Perry Mason episodes.

I felt it worked better unlike other similar semi-over the top creature movies is that the cast took the story seriously as opposed to trying to be part of the joke. The spider effects were obviously low budget butat least it looked like a spider than some similar creature movies where the creature is a man with layers of latex.

It was colorful and widescreen. Interestingly, some of the downtown crowd scenes at the end were out of focus. No reshoots in this movie. It was done with what looking like no structured lighting...dark and sometimes blurry.
