An original French Petite poster for the release of the 1968 film “The Lost Continent” or to give it its French title “Le Peuple des Abîmes”

A British adventure film made by Hammer Films featuring Eric Porter, Hildegard Knef, Suzanna Leigh, Tony Beckley and James Cossins. The film was produced, directed and written by Michael Carreras based on Dennis Wheatley's novel Uncharted Seas.

The film sees the crew and passengers of the dilapidated tramp steamer Corita heading from Freetown to Caracas. Whilst on route to South America the ship is holed and eventually what's left of the crew and passengers find themselves marooned in a mist-enshrouded Sargasso Sea surrounded by killer seaweed, murderous crustaceans and previously marooned descendants of Spanish Conquistadors and pirates.

“See blood beasts battling over female flesh!, torture pits for forbidden lovers!, sacrifice to giant jaw-snapping molluscs!”
