creepy, subsoil Sci-Horror adventure 'Secrets of The Phantom Caverns' remains a squirm favourite!
22 September 2022
This claustrophobically creepy subterranean 80s creature feature is still well worth digging out! While many lesser horror films are all surface charm, experienced genre director Don Sharp's pant-soilingly strange, subsoil Sci-Horror adventure is unafraid to explore the murkier, previously uncharted depths of some reality warping neolithic nightmare!!! Forget all the potholes and take a tectonic terror trip deep within the blackened bowels of some primordial, long-forgotten, time-frozen hell!

Not often praised, unfairly disparaged, the splendid substrata shocker 'What Waits Below' provides some refined B-entertainment, dramatically bolstered with a terrific cast of gifted actors: Robert Powell, Timothy Bottoms, Lisa Blount, Richard Johnson, and Anne Hayward. Hey! These angsty albino cave dwellers party like it was 1980 BC!!! In my overzealous, B-Movie boggled estimation, the deliciously dumb, frequently fanciful fright-flick 'What Waits Below' is so much more than just a macabre, mulch-headed monster movie, it's a dazzlingly bejewelled prehistoric fashion bonanza!!!
