The Land Unknown (1957)
"We'll find the wreck without your help."
"Maybe you will, if you aren't trampled to death first, or eaten alive, or die of starvation. Wait till the Antarctic night comes and for nine months the black air hangs round you like a rotten rag, and your eyes are blinded from the dark and from your own sweat. And you lose each other, and you're alone! Alone, do you hear me? Always alone."

The Land Unknown (1957)
Maggie Hathaway, una reportera posiblemente carismática (y a vista de todo el personal masculino increíblemente sexy) irrumpe en los planes para una expedición a la Antártida. Inmediatamente es asignada para unirse a un equipo que arriesgará su integridad en la investigación de datos científicos de brotes de agua caliente en los glaciares.
La historia en este punto va como la de Julio Verne, un descenso a la tierra hueca y el descubrimiento de un mundo prehistórico. La construcción de este mundo insólito es remarcable, el estudio de luz, sombras , atmósferas... Y dinosaurios! Hay monstruos prehistóricos, peleando en maquetas y monstruos mecanizados perfectos y expresivos. También un personaje que ha perdido su memoria: Hunter. Posiblemente el único que logró follar a Maggie? Me queda la duda.
Calificación: 11/10

"Look, Timmy! The nice dinosaur brought your ball back!"
After this photograph was taken little Timmy was mysteriously listed as "missing."
This appears to be actors William Reynolds and Shirley Patterson, of the 1957 film The Land Unknown, sacrificing a child to one of the dinosaurs featured in that magnum opus.
