The Mystery of Monster Island (1981)

Original title: Misterio en la Isla de los Monstruos

Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Adventure. Spain/USA. Starring Terence Stamp, Peter Cushing, David Hatton, Ian Sera, Blanca Estrada, Frank Braña, Paul Naschy, Gérard Tichy, Daniel Martín & Luis Barboo. Directed by Juan Piquer Simón.

CBS Fox Video (UK). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

I usually like J. P Simón's Jules Verne-films, but this is the exception: an abysmal film that doesn't work on any level. It will leave you irritated and annoyed at the poor level of filmmaking on display here. And Naschy fans needn't bother either: the lovable spanish bear is hardly in the film for a minute... 1/5

At the Earth's Core (1976)

Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Adventure. UK. Starring Doug McClure, Peter Cushing, Caroline Munro & Sean Lynch. Directed by Kevin Connor.

MGM Midnite Movies (USA). Widescreen. English language. Very good quality.

What this movie lacks in big budget monsters and FX it more than makes up in charm. Another entertaining Kevin Connor flick that won't dissapoint fans of victorian fantasy adventures that ends with volcanic eruptions. 3/5
