HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD(1961)
This coulda been a lot better! With the awesome
Christopher Lee(Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, Star
Wars Ep. 1-3, Sherlock Holmes 1990s TV movies &
several stints as Dracula!), it had such potential!
But unfortunately the picture's pretty bad, along
with the sound being off and dubbed! But it's not
terrible but just slow! C+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
I find this one quite fun! Hercules is clever
and remembers what he is told about Hades:
"Don't believe everything you see here".
And what our hero is doing in Pluto's
underworld, Hades, is to find a magic
stone from there in order to free his
lady love from evil.
Surreal and eerie imagery in this particular
film - it is set in Hades. This film there
isn't much in the way listen to but a whole
lot to see... sure there is dialogue but as
long as you know why Hercules is in Hades
you really don't have to listen - just veg
out and watch the film - dig on the cool
imagery. LOL. The story is OK enough though.
What is weird: Seeing Christopher Lee's
face and hearing another actor dub his
voice into English. I guess Lee had other
things going on so he couldn't dub his own
voice back into English(?) - guessing.
This film is just a fun fantasy adventure - one
to kick back and enjoy! 8/10 - Rainey-Dawn
