Going Underground.........
12 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The U. S. government has been using caves in Central America as bases for a radio transmitter used for communicating with submaries.

When the signal from one of suddenly disappears, a team of soldiers and cave specialists are sent in to find out what happened.

After some exploring deep underground, they stumble upon a tribe of cave dwellers who have been isolated from the rest of the world for thousands of years..

If you can swallow the fact that Robert Powell was in some sort of special army super group, then you can pretty much swallow the rest of the film. Imagine the descent but with people who look like John Phillip Law in Barbarella, this is that film.

The maguffin with the transmitter is just pure filler for the first hour, that and watching Powell flirt with the token blonde girl. This feels like forever, and then we are treated to the sight of the cave dwellers.

And they are a marvel of make up effects. The makers have just plonked silver wigs on them, covered them in white paint, and then dressed them in some pound shop superhero outfit.

There powers? Well they can scream really loud that they can bring a cave down, and they use deadly slingshots, and their aim is no better than a stormtrooper.

But Robert Powell has an almost Kung Fu fight with the biggest one, and they give him a Necklace for it.

The film doesn't know what it wants to be, and ruins the narrative and the overall effect of the film, but the last 30 minutes is so bonkers, anyone who has a love for bad films must see this.
