Product Description: Humanity has split the atom unleashing a new era of science - an era that would also unleash monstrous celluloid rampages. An A-bomb test in the Arctic awakens The Beast from 20000 Fathoms and it makes New York City its stomping ground in the movie (based on a story by Ray Bradbury) that launched a string of Atomic Age creature features. One of the best of those cautionary yarns is Them! Radiation-mutated ants - 12 feet long and capable of lifting tons - become giant problems for James Whitmore Edmund Gwenn James Arness and all of Los Angeles. They're big. They're bad. They've got a serious attitude problem. You won't find a can of bug spray big enough to stop 'em!System Requirements:Run Time: 174 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY UPC: 012569731264 Manufacturer No: 73126
Oh Yeah!! Two of the best, the very best. If you are a true Sci-Fi fan, then you will love these two films.
THEM & The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms / Them! (Double Feature) I'm a big fan of Them! It's still as thrilling as ever. Both movies are classic sci-fi. The movie arrived in excellent condition as described.
The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms / Them! (Double Feature) The movies themselves are classic SciFi of the best variety. "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" is good fun. We have a prehistoric beast rampaging ships, a lighthouse, a diving bell, and the city of New York. The beast was created by the master of stop motion, Ray Harryhausen. It may not be his best work but it is decent enough to make it worth watching if you enjoy the older Black & White monster movies. "Them" is a wonderfully shot giant ant movie with an exceptional cast. I enjoy "Them" the most because they draw out you actually seeing the ants and make it suspenseful with the police investigation into dead people and wreckage in the desert.
They then begin to hear unusual sounds before they find what they are up against. The sound effects were quite good for the time and I am impressed with the desert wind sounds along with the ant sounds. Add in good lighting effects at night and it really adds to the atmosphere of this movie. This set is a great value. I went ahead and replaced my original two separately packaged DVDs with this set since I am trying to reduce shelf space I require with thinner boxes or combined movies on one disc. This has both movies on one DVD and the quality is excellent and they throw in some extras on each movie. Good quality DVD with excellent replayability. - C. Luster
Great Classics, Great Price. You can't go wrong with this one. THEM, in particular is a great Sci-fi old movie. Of course, the special effects do not compare to today standards, but the stories are very good, and their productions hold their own. Two jewels of their times.
Two of the best from the 50's If you are into the 50's sci-fi monster movies you can't bet this combo. Special effects are better on the beast from 20,000 but both are fun to watch. Best if you are over 30 years old and get a bowl of popcorn for a double feature. Not the kind of scare for the younger generation, but great memories for the older generation.
