To me, this movie is perfection.
best movie i've ever seen.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
In 1965 Alfredo B. Crevenna directed AVENTURA EN EL CENTRO DE LA TIERRA, with recycled footage from other films, with a great cast (Javier Solís, Columba Domínguez) but with no good results. Everything start with a group of tourists visiting the Cacahuamilpa Caves, two of them, a little too ''in love'' decide to stay behind to do a little kissy-touchy and is when the monster strikes. Killing the man and taking the woman with him. Now, a group of scientists so they can venture inside the caves all the way to the bottom, find that girl and bring her out. Of course that the expedition suffers some loss, but the effort is good, specially when México was behind in the monster movie genre that flourished around the world in the 50s.
This is a very good movie. It starts with a a group of people who enter the caverns;a couple gets separated from the rest of them and while they are kissing a hideous monster kills the man. The woman goes mad but escapes.Then when a scientist is trying to find out what happened he sets up a group to find out what just did happen. They enter the cave, unaware of what awaits them.Its soundtrack is what sets the mood for most of the film. Perhaps the best of the film is its ending.I wont spoil anything. What is probably the scariest is that we see the creatures shining eyes glaring at the persons who have entered.There is blood,betrayal,love,horror,terror,suspense! A great film to see.
It's a bit difficult for me to write a completely accurate review of this film, as no dubbed or subtitled copy exists, and my Spanish is not good enough for me to really follow the dialog. Luckily, the plot is simple enough for a non-Spanish speaker to get the gist of it without understanding the (probably silly) interactions between the characters. The plot concerns a group of scientists who have an interest in human evolution journey beneath the earth through a series of picturesque caverns where they endure hardships, betrayal by one of the expedition members, and some deadly encounters with humanoid monsters, some of them sporting big bat wings on their shoulders. There's also a giant spider. The monster make-up and effects are, on the whole, excellent.
That was one of the longest scrolling text/narration intros I've ever seen at the beginning of a movie, it took nearly two minutes before the movie started.When I first saw the movie it reminded me of several other 60's B/W monster movies that were filmed in Carlsbad Caverns NM, but this one was filmed in some caverns in Old Mexico.Spoiler - Do not read this unless you have seen the movie!At one point in the movie some snakes/worms look like they were burned alive for the film. It looks real but whether or not it is real is unknown.
