(From imdb.com)

What they say: A group of cave explorers are confronted in an underground cavern by a mysterious living rock. Little do they know that it bears home to deadly, flesh-eating creatures, intent on wiping out the entire human population. Can they survive and ultimately prevent Earth’s total annihilation?

Never released in the United States, only a handful of countries saw a cropped and edited VHS release nearly thirty years ago, that is until now.

What I say: In the 70’s and 80’s the thing to do in Italy was make a “sequel” to a hot American film. Like Lucio Fulci with Zombi, an unofficial sequel to Dawn of the Dead. And I can assure you no one will mistake Alien 2: On Earth for a sequel to Ridley Scotts classic. But despite all that seeing this long lost film is quite a treat.

This film is all about the splatter splatter splatter! It’s goopy gory and a hell of a lot of fun. The most impressive thing about his Blu-Ray is how damn good it looks. To think that someone cared enough about an obscure film practically forgotten for 30 years is quite impressive. This transfer is quite honestly stunning with crystal clarity and excellent sound.

I’ve heard that Midnight Legacy was disappointed with sales from this disc and might not do any more. This would be a crying shame. If they can do this good with something like this, I wonder what else they had up their sleeve. We as fans must support this kind of endeavor if we want to see more.

Film: 7/10
Blu-Ray: 10/10
Highly Recommended!!!
