The Neptune Factor (1973)

[@Ezra1499]

Everyone on this show is amazing, thankyou for the entertainment. The costumes, the creepy manor setting, the conversations and how everyone stays in character in a loose way that is warm and natural. It looks like you all have a lot of fun making these shows.

[@966Mako]

People don’t give these movies enough credit, going off the comments. As a kid in the 70s, these movies were a Saturday/ Sunday afternoon staple. Spending the day on the BMX, getting into mischief. Then home for an arvo movie, with the smells of mum making dinner.

[@randquadrozzi1280]

Yes and some are pretty good but this was very boring.

[@22dossantos]

Shit you just made me realise how good it was back them😅

[@roosternm6830]

I would give anything to go back to those days. I grew up in the south bay area of San Diego right on the shore. Us kids back in the 70s had plenty to do. I was raised by my grandparents due to my dad being out to sea most of the year. I have an aunt and uncle close to my age and 4 cousins. All of my imediate family lived on the same block. My grandparents house was the spot we all spent those weekends watching Twilight Zone re runs and movies lile this and tons of others. My gramma would cook us those little pepperoni pizzas to munch on while we were glued to the big console TV in the living room. Rainy, stormy days were the best. Especially in the winter. My gramma crocheted blankets and we had the whole living room covered in blankets. The best of times for sure.

Thank you Creature Features Crew for sharing this wonderful classic movie with us. I enjoyed it very much. This movie was ahead of its time with the excellent special effects and the photography. I miss the era when talent, creativity, and imagination came to life on the big screen awe-inspiring the audience with enjoyment. Everything in this movie is an example of what is almost non-existent in today's movies. Actors and writers are currently on strike right now because they want more pay for rehashing and remaking old TV shows and movies. They lack any ability to create something new from their imagination's because they have none. Independent films with talented new actors are the gems I look for. This is why I adore Creature Features because it doesn't have to be a current movie to entertain and give the audience enjoyment. Why watch a horrible remake such as "The Day the Earth Stood Still" when the original movie was fabulous then and still is today. Thank you again Creature Features Crew. 😊❤

[@Womanwithblackdog]

Extra good show! Wonderful movie and terrific guest. Livingston, Tangella and Vincent as always: terrific!❤😮

[@williammitchell1952]

Hey Tangella, I like all your movies. I've been watching creature features since blank and white tv. It was on every Saturday night.

[@lindaanderson7077]

This movie was done in 1973, just after The Poseidon Adventure. The intrigue of Inner Space was just beginning. The access to the filming of the ocean was not easily available. Sea Hunt, a b&w series with Lloyd Bridges, done in the late 50s-60s, had a great deal of underwater footage, but that was unusual. Great series, if you are into Inner Space. Remember the Sci fi of the 50s, when alien monsters were claymation and oversized lizards? Or the 30s, when the jungle movies were introducing gorillas? So, these scene with aquarium fish were serious to these movies- 50 years ago. I taught film and history, and the connection between the two is interesting. Enjoy the film, or use it to look things up.

[@BubbaThaumaturge]

I recall this movie. I watched it on TV as a kid on a Friday night. It was all my friends talked about on Saturday, and Monday at school.

Sorry, I beg to differ. Its a terrible film, poor and thin plot and the biggest star is Ernest Borgnine! The special effects are like looking in any common fish tank and worst of all, this film has been free to watch on KZbin for about 50 years!! Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of CF, I really enjoy watching Vincent, Tangella❤ and Livingston. But, I really think that they could've done much better than choose this film. Why not show 'The Medusa Touch" with Richard Burton, Derek Jaqobi and an all star cast... FYI its also free on KZbin and a far superior film compared to the Neptune Factor.
