This is a piece of weird garbage from British vaults. I don't watch very many British films, but this one really appealed to me because it's so bizarre just like a Japanese film. This begins strange enough with a silly postmodern song (I have discovered....The Lost Continent!) that really doesn't go along with the movie. Then this is like Titanic on drugs. Alchoholic jerk of a captain is taking his rundown ship with explosives on board that will go off when it gets wet (what a safe thing to take on a sea voyage) along with disfuntional passengers with horrible lives and mutinous crew to South America. The captian tears up a hurricane warning and the ship runs into a hurricane. The ship springs a leak and the crew mutinies. This man eating seaweed attaches itself to the ship and drags it into the swamp covered bay of a lost island in the Sargasso sea where the ships of previous people who have been stranded are. Soon the inhabinates attack. Jimmy Hanley gets strangled by a giant crab, Suzzana Leigh gets attacked by a slimy octopus until a man takes a shot a freeing her and he's the one who gets dragged overboard, and the passengers are attacked by Spaniards who have been stranded there for thousands of years. As I said this film is just wacky, and it's really worth a look.
