Michael Carreras directed this most bizarre science fiction/adventure tale on the high seas, where a disparate group of people(played by Eric Porter, Hildegard Knef, Tony Beckley, Susanna Leigh, Nigel Stock, among others) set sail on an old liner that has an illegal cargo of explosives that wanders into uncharted seas after a fierce storm. They then come upon a lost continent filled with prehistoric monsters and descendants of Spanish shipwreck survivors who have become a murderous cult! How can the survivors defeat this cult, and find their way home? Plot is unoriginal, but the style and approach is so rooted to its time(the swinging sixties, complete with lounge music title song!) and strange imagery(the people supported by balloons strapped to their waists) that it remains a fascinating failure. Dana Gillespie costars.
