| Oakland Tribune - September 1, 1979 |
One of an innumerable number of ads that were better (much, much better, in fact) than the film being advertised. Considering some of the broad performances, goofy dialog, and whatnot, it came as no surprise to learn that director Charles B. Griffith intended, or wanted, Up from the Depths to be much more of a broad comedy than producer Roger Corman "allowed" it to be.
Or, maybe, the comedy just was not all that funny to begin with? No idea. I just know that the movie itself, while it does have some goofy so bad it's good charm to it, is best consumed by seasoned b-movie aficionados only.
