Something Weird Incredible Petrified World

Lovers of true grade-Z schlock either genuflect or run screaming at the mere mention of JERRY WARREN, the auteur of such cheapjack epics as Man Beast ('56), Terror of the Bloodhunters ('62), and The Wild Wild World of Batwoman ('66). (He also imported numerous Mexican films, recut them, added new scenes, and usually removed most of the dialogue so they wouldn't nee redubbing!) The Incredible Petrified World, Warren's second film, is a no-budget "Nightmare of Terror is the Center of the Earth!" - not! Scientist JOHN CARRADINE invents a new kind of diving into which ROBERT (Hideous Sun Demon) CLARKE, PHYLLIS (Lois Lane) COATES, SHEILA (Beat from Haunted Cave) CAROL (billed here as Sheila Norman) and ALLEN WINDSOR (who?) descend into the ocean. (The diving bell looks like a cheap balloon in the exterior shots and swells to at least three times its size for the mis-matching interior shots.) But the cable quickly snaps and the quartet take cover in some underwater caverns, the titular "Petrified World" (but actually Colossal Cave in Tucson, Arizona).

I bought this movie several years ago for about $4. It was worth it. Classic camp.

Dooooood.. I just finished watching this movie right now..a couple minutes ago. And I am now in that sorta zone. I had a funny thought too. What..if you got a tattoe ALL over your body of what people in black and white movies look like? You'd have to dye your hair too and wear clothes like that too, but...that would start people laughing..and even if you died in a car wreck..the publicity would be humorous an shit.

I love 50's SF but even I have to admit, this is dull as dishwater. Typical Jerry Warren production...
