Unknown World 07/01/25

Take a cinematic trip 2,500 miles into the depths of the Earth, courtesy of a Cold War- era retelling of Jules Verne. Seven scientists search for a haven from the coming nuclear holocaust ‘deep deep down’ by traveling in a drilling submarine-tank they call a Cyclotram. Produced by effects specialists Jack Rabin and Irving Block, this early ’50s Sci-fi adventure is wrapped up in anti-Nuke anxiety and even the blacklist: the industry wouldn’t allow its main star to get screen billing. The extras by Stephen R. Bissette and C. Courtney Joyner are fascinating. On Blu-ray from Severin Films.
