Shout Factory: The Lost Continent Detailed for Blu-ray

Shout Factory has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of The Lost Continent (1968), starring Eric Porter, Hildegard Knef, Suzanna Leigh, Tony Beckley, and Nigel Stock. The release will be available for purchase on April 28.

Synopsis: The passengers of an old freighter en route to South America find that their voyage is truly damned! The nightmare begins when Captain Lansen (Eric Porter) attempts to transport illegal explosives and their rusty tramp steamer becomes stranded in the vast floating swamp of the mysterious Sargasso Sea. Under the cover of night, the terrified travelers encounter unspeakable monsters, man-eating seaweed, vicious mutant pirates and stupendously endowed women. All aboard for this "marvelously absurd, straight-faced anthology of comic-strip plots, dialogue, devices and special effects" (The New York Times)!
