Movie Reviews of The Lost Continent
Movie Review: Ah...Suzanna Leigh
Summary: 4 Stars
Decent movie...saw it at a drive-in in 1968. Dana Gillespie was touted to be the major "natural" British "export" at the time the movie was made...and she doesn't dissapoint as "Anne"...she would come back and be "Ajor" in the 1977 movie "People That Time Forgot". However, she is noticeably left off the credits in this movie!!!
This movie has a fairly decent plot and its special effects are 1968-ish. It's really a "B" movie but one that still creates interest if you're watching for the first time.
Summary of The Lost Continent
Hammer Studios prefigured both the explosion of Bermuda Triangle thrillers and "lost world" adventures with this appropriately gothic 1968 fantasy. Eric Porter stars as the brooding captain of a decrepit scow smuggling illegal explosives with a questionable crew and a desperate cadre of passengers (including Hildegard Kneff, Suzanna Leigh, and Tony Beckley) into a hurricane. The initial melodrama turns to high-seas adventure as the ship battles the storm with volatile cargo and finally to a strange, moody fantasy. The ship becomes entangled in a creeping tangle of aggressive weeds that pulls the vessel deep into a twilight world of monstrous mollusks, snakelike vines with a taste for human flesh, and an insular society descended from rogue elements of the Spanish Inquisition who prey upon the unlucky ships dragged to their hidden island. Rotting galleons set against the creepy orange sky create an unsettling, alien world, like a psychedelic spin on Jules Verne. If the film doesn't match the chills of earlier Hammer thrillers, it more than makes up for it in pure atmosphere and eerie mood. --Sean AxmakerAction & Adventure DVD Video
