Movie review - “The Incredible Petrified World” (1958) *

A film from Jerry Warren whose name is held in honour by some bad movie buffs. This has decent enough production value for a crappy old movie – yes there is some stock footage but the shoot scenes on a boat with a big diving bell. But it’s boring – most of the time it’s four people stuck in a cave underwater. There’s a crazy old man Treasure Island style but nothing interesting happens – you keep waiting for a monster to go crazy or for the people to start killing each other, or something. Not bad so much as boring. John Carradine is the biggest (make that only) name of the cast.
