I think putting it in the 50's would give it that cool B movie feel. But imagine the 50's B movie with a 70's horror film like Alien and something epic like King Kong.
Nah, don't do that. Then you'd just be remaking a movie that takes place in the same time period that original was made in. What's the fun in that? You'd only be expanding on what we've already seen.
I'd say go with Victorian. You can have so much more fun with it, especially with the science. Think about it. Darwin has just published "On The Origin of Species", his theory of evolution taking England, and the world by storm. Very controversial. Throw in sci-fi elements. Gill-man found in South America. You can take alot of Darwinian theory and flip it on it's head and get outlandish with some of the science. Not to mention, by setting it during the Victorian era, you automatically have atmosphere.
I should also point out, that regardless of how you do it, if you exclude Captain Lucas, you automatically FAIL!
