The Incredible Petrified World

Actors: John Carradine, Allen Windsor, Robert Clarke, Sheila Noonan, Phyllis Coates
Rating: 2 out of 10, A dive into the past of Hollywood schlock with a truly bad movie which didn’t spend any of an apparently miniscule budget on special effects or settings. Somehow a fight between an octopus and a shark leads off the movie for no discernible reason because neither creature plays any part in the movie. John Carradaine with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek plays an oceanographer (yup) who wants to send a diving bell to the bottom of the sea. The crew of four crash and then have to escape up through some caves inhabited by an old dude with possibly the worst fake beard is movie history. So bad it was a lot of fun to watch.

MVP: John Carradine as Millard Wyman, clearly smirking throughout
