It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955) is a Ray Harryhausen movie I recently watched on a random streaming service. The storyline follows a radioactive Octopus 🐙 that grows to epic sizes and attacks San Francisco.
This movie is directed by Robert Gordon (Blind Spot) and stars Kenneth Tobey (The Thing From Another World), Faith Domergue (Where Danger Lives), Donald Curtis (Spellbound) and Roy Engel (Zombies of the Stratosphere).
The dialogue and science discussions are very entertaining in this movie. The special effects are good for the most part. At times the tentacles have a delay but as soon as the octopus comes out of the ocean the special effects are awesome. I always enjoy the models they use to create these movies. The ending on how to kill the octopus discussion and execution is rediculous but a bit funny.
Overall this isn't a classic but it is an above average addition to the genre that's definitely worth watching once. I'd score it a 6.5/7-10.
