Review of Beyond Atlantis (1973) by Senor C — 03 Sep 2009

Sid Haig wants to get his hands on some precious pearls so he takes a crew to an uncharted island to go diving for them. That's what this movie has a lot of filler of - diving. Haig & the gang end up taking on the bug eyed natives & things pick up a bit (some gnarly piranha action) but by then its just a 90 minute time passer unless you're a Haig fan & he's great in this as a fortune seeking pimp but Beyong Atlantis could have been so much more; it could have been a pretty good exploitation movie but Eddie Romero (the man who brought us Black Mama White Mama the same year) shoots for a PG rating.
