LOST CONTINENT 1968 (ANCHOR BAY)

One of the most bizarre Hammer films ever.

A cargo ship with some passengers who have many personal issues finds itself caught in a violent hurricane in which a few survive. The survivors drift until they are caught in a mysterious weed that takes them to a very strange land.

This land they are on is populated by the ever menacing weeds as well as giant mutated crabs and scorpions as well as Spanish Conquistadors who believe the inquisition is still going on. The mutant monsters are really a sight to behold and one of the best visual effects is sexy Suzanna Leigh whose goal in life is to find a man. The dresses she wears...well lets just say they are hotter than hell.

This is one strange movie full of bizarre images and characters unlike anything Hammer ever did before or after. The stellar cast includes Michael Ripper, Eric Porter, Hildegard Neff, Tony Beckly and Dana Gillespie. I recommend this for anyone who wants to see something a little bit different.
