The Land Unknown – Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

Towards the end of his tenure at Universal, producer William Alland – a former actor best known as the investigative reporter in Orson Welles’ magnum opus Citizen Kane (1941) – had successfully produced a couple of sci-fi classics (The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Tarantula), but had shifted to more cost-effective efforts following the success of Columbia’s It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955). One of those efforts, The Land Unknown, had its roots in a real life expedition that discovered an area of unusually warm water in Antarctica a decade prior, and speculated on the idea of a prehistoric world possibly lurking beneath the surface. Universal originally released it as part of a classic sci-fi DVD set on home video, but Kino has licensed it for its Blu-ray debut.
