## Description

Offbeat 1960s Hammer Studios fantasy horror. When Captain Lansen (Eric Portman)'s leaky cargo ship is blown off course, the crew members find themselves in a mysterious, fog-shrouded ocean where the seaweed eats human flesh and mutated crab-like creatures with huge claws are on the loose. The surviving crew and passengers then encounter a band of Spanish conquistadors who think it is still the 1500s and the Inquisition is still in progress.

    The Lost Continent... it's good, it's bad, it's definitely Hammer
  

*by K***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 January 2010*

The Lost Continent was the second of three films Hammer Films adapted from novels written by Dennis Wheatley... and this has to be the strangest.  When Hammer got it right, they did it brilliantly, and when they got it wrong it could be disasterous.  The Lost Continent falls somewhere between the two, with a convoluted plot that veers from sea bound drama/disater to the Spanish Inquisition, with carniverous seaweed, killer crustaceans and a luminous cephalopod thrown in for good measure.  Bearing in mind this was made in the late sixties, you could be forgiven for thinking that someone was feeding the cast and crew wacky dust - but for all it's sillyness, it still has it's good points and proves an enjoyable, if daft romp.  The acting is a little dodgy at times, with Suzanna Leigh struggling to act sexy and get her lines out at the same time, and the late Hildegarde Neff managing to act through the entire film with virtually just one expression, as though she's had an early form of botox. There's also a turn from Dana Gillespie as the buxom damsel in distress, who positively oozes out of the outfit she is wearing - very Hammeresque. The music score also veers from dramatic orchestrated pieces to jazzy hammond organ that strangely suits the film, and a title song that is both catchy and off the wall - just listen to the lyrics. It's Hammer at it's most pantomimic, and a cult classic.  This version is the diced and sliced cut version as seen on TV (the american Anchor Bay dvd release has the full version), but the cuts don't impair the film... so sit back and lose yourself for 86 minutes in The Lost Continent.

    Help Help I'm bieng attacked by giant piece of rubber!!!!!
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 29 October 2014*

Well if you like the old style creature features from the 50's & 60's like me you will love this (strangely I don't remember ever seeing this one before can't think why) It's got an absolute bonkers plot featuring a despodic captain carrying an illegal cargo of explosives along with passengers who for one reason or another are desperate to leave where they are coming from, as you can probably guess mayhem them ensues onboard then to add to there woes the ship is surrounded and for want of a better word controlled by flesh eating seaweed that drags them to a ships graveyard around a mysterious island inhabited by strange mutant creatures/molluscs and previous shipwreck survivors who are enslaved by the Spanish inquisition living on-board a conquisadore ship, as I said its an absolutely bonkers plot, the effects/creatures are made from foam rubber and are REALLY cheesy even for the time this film was made. BUT that for me is what gives these film there charm, just put your feet up and smile I DID.

    The silliest Hammer film ever!!!
  

*by K***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 February 2012*

This is by far the silliest and strangest Hammer film in existence.Adapted from a Denis Wheatley novel it tells the story of a ship, crew and passengers who after a storm arrive on a 'lost continent'.  The film should really be titled 'The Lost Man-Eating Seaweed' as much of the action takes place on boats with the said man-eating seaweed all around and the only bit of land you see is a bit of rock!Sillier and stranger still are the descendants of survivors from ages past who walk on the man eating-seaweed with the aid of balloons, led by a boy King come God while their spiritual leader looks like something out of the Ku Klux Clan, a giant mollusc, a giant scorpion and a giant octopus!Ray Harryhausen it is NOT!!!Still,it's great fun and had me laughing out loud on many occasions.  You have to see it to believe it.  It's so bad it's brilliant!!!
