VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Debby P I guess I'm not a complete fan of Hammer films like some. I found this movie somewhat engrossing but disturbing. All the usual Hammer gore. The monsters were hokey enough to be entertaining, and the plot kept you wondering what was next. However, it was too intense for me to watch it again. Just my opinion, of course, but not recommended for those who are at all faint of heart or disturbed by lots of red stuff.

wes-connors A bunch of sneaky-acting characters set out across the Atlantic Ocean and find "The Lost Continent"… or, maybe they don't. This has nothing to do with the missing "Atlantis" mentioned by many people, from writer-philosopher Plato to singer-songwriter Donovan… or, maybe it does. None of it makes much sense. The characters have interesting backgrounds, and voyaging with "illegal cargo" sounds like it should make a dynamite story. Yet, neither the performers nor producer/director Michael Carreras can make it float. His best direction occurs at around 30 minutes of running time, when he has sexy Suzanna Leigh wring out her wet dress. Tony Beckley gets to play the best part – if you're given a choice of roles, always opt for the alcoholic.*** The Lost Continent (6/19/68) Michael Carreras ~ Eric Porter, Hildegard Knef, Tony Beckley, Suzanna Leigh

utgard14 Watchable late Hammer flick with a so-so cast. First half deals with dramatics on board a cargo ship with various and sundry characters, leading up to the mutiny of the crew. This is all rather ho-hum and forgettable. Business picks up after the ship becomes lost in the Sargasso Sea and the passengers must deal with killer seaweed and giant mutant crabs & scorpions. Oh did I forget that there's also an island of conquistadors who don't realize the Spanish Inquisition is over? It's all pretty cheesy with poor special effects and no scares are to be had but it's fun to watch at times. Neil McCallum has his hair dyed Twinkie yellow for some reason. Ben Carruthers (who?) is supposed to be playing some kind of suave character but it's a poor fit. Suzanna Leigh and front-heavy Dana Gillespie provide the required amount of babe to fill Hammer's quota. Love the cheesy title song. I believe this movie also inspired an episode of DuckTales.

johnc2141 I had seen the lost continent years ago on TV and it was always one of my favorites ever since.an adventure,a monster movie,a drama,its a very well made hammer film about a captain on his last voyage carrying a very dangerous cargo of explosives that react when wet,and an odd assortment of passengers.well after the captain flees a port before customs can board his ship,they run into some problems and are lost at sea and end up near an uncharted island complete with carnivorous sea weed,a giant hermit crab,a giant scorpion,and a colony of religious fanatics that are ancestors of cortez.its crazy but really a damn good movie with a lot of action,Eric porter,Suzanna Leigh and tony beckley star in this Saturday matinée adventure made in england.i had recently seen this again on google video but the part of the ending is missing.for the year it was made 1968 it is quite modern.the acting is very good,the monsters are just a little hokey but overlooked.as one of my favorite movies i give the lost continent 10 out of 10.
