Help with a movie title...
Help with a movie title...
It's a movie I remember from when I was a kid, so must be a mid '70s movie at the latest...I thought Christopher Lee was in it, but I looked him up on IMDB and couldn't see it...
Plot is...
The wreck of the titanic is found at the bottom of the sea like 50 years after it sank...Divers go down to salvage it / have a look at it / whatever, but when they get there, they hear noises of machinery coming from the hull...
Long story short, People have survived the descent to the bottom of the sea, and the ship has landed upside down, created an air bubble where the survivors have made a community complete with air filters, generators, and everything they need to survive, and there's hundreds of them, and they've been having children and everything...
It gets hazy after that,(were they like a religious cult, or something..?) but if anyone can help me out, thanks...

Never heard of it, but it sounds pretty wild! Throw in some brain-eating zombies and you've really got something special!anjabro wrote:It's a movie I remember from when I was a kid, so must be a mid '70s movie at the latest...I thought Christopher Lee was in it, but I looked him up on IMDB and couldn't see it...

Could it be The Incredible Petrified World with John Carradine - kind of has some of the plot elements and John Carradine has a lanky scary Chritopher Lee quality......

Yeah, definitely not a big budget thing...mood swung wrote:I've seen this! But I don't know the title. I'm thinking it was a made for tv, movie of the week kind of thing.
BTW, my kids were just watching Titanic on video, and I mentioned this movie, and everyone thinks I dreamt it up...at least I've got a witness now (unless we both dreamt it... )

Re: Help with a movie title...
This will be no help, but my first thought was of "Raise The Titanic!", starring Jason Robards, who looks slightly Christopher Lee-esque on the DVD box. However, all the synopses I've seen about this movie make reference to a nuclear arms race with the Soviets, and nothing about an underwater colony. But I'm intrigued, so I'll keep checking.anjabro wrote:It's a movie I remember from when I was a kid, so must be a mid '70s movie at the latest...I thought Christopher Lee was in it...

way to go, idaho!
now, does anyone know this one? set at a boarding school, in winter. the wife drowns her husband in the bathtub and then tosses his body in the outdoor pool (which is black and nasty, being all winter and stuff). the husband rises (or floats) back to her and chases her into the bathroom where she drowned him and pops his eyeballs out. Scared the absolute shit out of me when I was ten or so (so that makes it 1973 or so) - honestly I didn't get that scared again until Ghost Story.
somebody tell me they know this movie...

Sounds like some bastardized version of Clouzot's great thriller "Diabolique". I don't remember anything about eyeballs popping out in the Clouzot picture (haven't seen it in years), but the rest of it is straight out of "Diabolique".mood swung wrote:way to go, idaho!

That looks like the one...I was sure I was a lot younger when I saw it, and I was sure it was the Titanic, but the plot is spot on, and it's got Christopher Lee...(..and John Carradine coincidentally, whoever mentioned him..)oily slick wrote:Goliath Awaits
Well done board in general and Oily Slick in particular...This place never lets you down...
(P.S. Did you know it, or are you just a better Googler than me..?)

i wish i was a better googler actually. my head is full of meaningless crap. the likelihood of coughing something like that up again is, however, almost nil. it was big hyped cornball tv deal at the time. and if it has eddie albert in it, you gotta watch, don't you? did you know you can get entire seasons of green acres on dvd! can't help moody with her popping eyeballs though.
I'm not concerned about the very poor.

Can't help you with the title I'm afraid MDM. But I want to know what you were doing watching this movie when you were a mere 10 years old.mood swung wrote:now, does anyone know this one? set at a boarding school, in winter. the wife drowns her husband in the bathtub and then tosses his body in the outdoor pool (which is black and nasty, being all winter and stuff). the husband rises (or floats) back to her and chases her into the bathroom where she drowned him and pops his eyeballs out.

This may be the one you saw, moody. From 1974, made for TV, with Tuesday Weld, Sam Waterston, Michael Lerner.mood swung wrote:what was I doing? causing permanent psychological scarring, that's what. I've never looked at a dirty swimming pool the same way.
From the IMDB user comments it sounds like it's the one...
