Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics, sci-fi fans and adventure fans. If you loved War of the Worlds or 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, start here.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1962: an older pace and style.

People living at a seashore town are frightened by reports of an unknown creature called "the sea devil". Nobody knows what it is, but it's really the son of doctor Salvator. The doctor performed surgery on his son and now young Ichtiander can live under water. This gives him certain advantages, but also creates a lot of problems.
