I've just seen The Incredible Petrified World for the first time and rather enjoyed it, despite the low budget.
Four people, two men and two women head down to the bottom of the Oceon in a diving bell but this snaps and breaks loose, the people on the ship above including the bell's inventor eventually give up hope of finding them alive. The explorers are OK and start to explore and come across a network of caverns, which surprises them. When in these, they come across a giant lizard, a skeleton and, best of all, an old hermit who has been here for 14 years. He looks a true dropout with very long beard and hear. He tells the explorers how he got here and that there is no way out. A volcanic eruption then takes place and the explorers manage to escape back to the ship but the old hermit is killed.
The cast includes horror veteran John Carradine (Bluebeard, House of Dracula, House of the Long Shadows), Robert Clarke (The Man From Planet X, The Hideus Sun Demon) and Phyllis Coates (Adventures of Superman).
This movie is worth checking out if you get the chance.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
