“An incredible tale of terror and suspense... above and below the sea.”

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A diving expedition finds Atlantis, monsters and a civilisation with plans for the surface world. Doug McClure supplies sturdy adventure-film energy while elaborate explanations keep enlarging the discovery. Model creatures and Victorian exploration machinery make this a comfortable Sunday-afternoon fantasy oddity.
