The Lost Continent

This was my first Hammer Studios film. I was about 7 years old and it came on late-night TV on Thanksgiving night and I watched it with an older cousin and her husband and two cousins around my age. This film has often been described as, 'The Love Boat On Acid' and that's probably a fair description, but it remains a favorite if mine because of the weirdness! Mutiny on the high seas, an illegal and explosive cargo as well as some passengers that just want to travel without any questions being asked of them. Add a hurricane to the mix and then mutated beasties and a leftover civilization from the Spanish Inquisition and how can you not enjoy something about this film. Sure, the film isn't anywhere close to being a great film, but it's the characters and the fun of the film that makes this one a must-see!
