8. Warlords of Atlantis (1978)

Warlords of Atlantis takes the vulgar if imaginative approach of depicting the sunken civilization as a land of not one lost city but seven, all of which are inhabited by weird peoples in the process of battling for supremacy. A team of devious scientists descend to the depths of the sea in a diving bell, and accidentally wind-up in this oceanic war zone where they’re forced to embark on a rescue mission – beset on all sides by foam monsters and vast armies of up to five people – before the whole place destroys itself.

Director Kevin Connor was the man behind such crude but watchable low budget fantasy shockers as The Land That Time Forgot and The People That Time Forgot, and he applies the exact same formula to this film, which could have been subtitled The Movie That Everyone Forgot, it’s so unremarkable.
