O2D Here we go with yet another 75 minute movie that has 30 minutes of people walking in silence.When they do talk, it just non-sense. It's a bad story that is quite boring.

Michael O'Keefe Virgil Vogel directs this Sci-Fi classic concerning two archeologists, Roger Bentley (John Agar) and Jud Bellamin (Hugh Beaumont), who discover an underground civilization of albinos deprived and fearful of sunlight making slaves of a populace of half-human, half-mole creatures. The only weapon the two explorers have is a...flashlight. Bentley and Bellamin befriend the slaves from their torturing and earn their trust in showing a way back to the earth's surface. Very low budget and the mole people are not very scary after a decent introduction.Cynthia Patrick plays Adad, a pretty outcast of the albinos, who is given away to Dr. Bentley, compliments of the High Priest (Alan Napier). Other players include: Rodd Redwing, Nestor Palva, Phil Chambers and Joe Abdullah.

Rainey Dawn This one is as corny as it gets but fun as all get-outs to me. An albino race of people living under the surface of the earth (way down inside a mountain top), still worshiping the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar after the great flood, using the Mole People as slaves and easily destroyed by bright light - like the light of a flashlight! Archeologists go up the mountain, one falls in after getting way up there and the others go down to find him... there is a cave-in and they are now trapped inside with these strange Ishtar worshipers and the Mole People!! Can the group escape? Will they meet their fate in the fires of Ishtar?!! Yes this movie is bad but yes it's crazy fun to watch - if you are into silly 'B' creature features of the 1950s. I had a lot of fun watching this one and it's great to see it again after years of no see.7/10

GL84 Trying to discover a long-lost civilization, a team of explorers in a remote mountain valley find a mythical culture of people living underground from a race of deformed humanoid creatures and are forced to help their society return to it's former graces.This here was quite a decent if rather flawed effort. This one really doesn't get started off on the right foot at all with the lecture from the professor supposedly giving off a rather banal and horribly inaccurate part of the possibly theories of human evolution that is intended to make the events here seem all the more logical which it isn't to begin with but just goes on for so long that there's some utterly terrible work to get it going past this stuttering starting point. Likewise, there's also the rather troubling effect of the film manages to turn the supposed creatures of the story into pathetic audience-identification figures in them being slaves to the society at the forefront of the film which in effect makes it seem more like a sci-fi effort rather than a true horror effort. Even more, the concept of them being slaves really hampers the fact that there's barely any time with them on-screen as this one spends far more time on not only the trip to the underground city but also getting them to believe that the newcomers are important to their culture that it really stumbles with how it treats the creatures. It never manages to explain why they made them slaves to begin with or how they're able to be controlled so easily here with the simple whipping accomplished that really makes no sense not only how they knew how to accomplish the feat but also in how they lived alongside them all this time as slaves without doing until now. This alone makes that storyline inherently predictable and quite easily seen coming a mile away with the set-up being so obvious as to how this gets to the eventual rebellion which in turn leads to a lot of rather pointless and bland scenes of them going around the civilization interrupting their methods trying to be heroes. That none of this leads to a lot of true horror is a major detriment to this one with the fact that it really piles on the lost-civilization sci-fi antics rather than horror is a huge part of what really holds this one back as despite how much there's potentially to fear from the creatures with this one. Though there's a few decent moments here, it's not all that often at all with the early scenes of them going through the underground tunnels after getting trapped and slowly becoming aware of what they've stumbled upon as well as the scenes of them getting captured by the guards of the city. These are quite action-packed as well as mildly chilling, providing the best parts of the film where it really lets the creatures have some semblance of threat while also getting in some nice horror elements. As well, there's the decent finale which showcases the eventual rebellion and overthrow of their government which is a lot of fun with the different battle scenes as the creatures get involved in a rather decent enough brawl that does end this on a nice action scene but it's too little too late to save this one.Today's Rating/PG: Violence.
