Title: I liked this movie as a kid
Review: I likes this movie as a kid...14 years old and I really liked Hidegaard Knef...all the Hammer ladies in fact. BUT move up to 1971 and I read my first William Hope Hodgson novel, "The Boats of the Glee Carig" and the whole appeal of "The Lost Continent" went out the window. I disliked the movie because it couldn't COME close to the weirdness of Hodgson's book. So, one have to be fair. I sought out "The Lost Continent" novel...as another reader said, no easy thing and although there are some things in HP Lovecraft that can make one uncomfortable. "Lost Continent" is worse. The 20th century changed us greatly. Also, I founf the book dull, especially when comp[ared with "Carig." If I had read "The Lost Continent" before everything else, maybe I would feel differently, but it doensn't touch Hodgson's work in my mind. Sorry.
Is the review positive or negative?
