Audience Member From 1967 but feels more like 1957. Anthropologist takes the family on an expedition to discover a chain of undiscovered islands that potentially hold a separate line of evolution. Credit this family for turning lemons into lemonade when their boat is lost, stranding them. Genesis Home Video released this family pic to home video with a barebacked island girl on the cover for some reason. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I wasn't sure who the target audience of this film was when I found a copy in a second hand store bargain bin. The back of the box hails the film as "an action-packed adventure for the entire family" but the front cover features the back of an attractive topless woman clearly intended to lure in a more adult audience. Once the tape started to roll and I saw early that this film featured a pet seal, I knew this film was more the former. Overall, we get a perilous, but dated, journey for a lost polynesian island with shark sightings, blood-thirsty horned osteriches, tarantulas, a typhoon, and a sunken ship. Right away, bringing the family along for this seemingly dangerous expedition looked like a poor parenting decision by the professor. Does provide some level of camp value. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Det här dvd-omslaget var extremt missvisande, jag såg den här filmen för 30 år sedan, då stod det "den glömda ön" på det svarta esselte omslaget, minns det som extremt spännande och det var ett kärt återseende att få uppleva köttätande strutsar,det skojfriska sjölejonet, schäfrarna som föreställer sabeltandade tigrar + en hel del bra hajsecener.
