The Lost City (1935)
A fine film, check it out if you get your hands on it
The Lost City is not a bad but no good either 30's horror/Sci-fi film serial with twelve chapters, with overall 4 hours of playtime. I watched the whole thing in two days because I kept losing focus after few chapters. But the movie isn't boring, the plot keeps moving quickly and something new appears on every chapter. The dialog is kept simple, and the plot is also kind of simple but fine. Nothing to complain about the special effects either, some was kinda cool for the time actually. Oh, and every chapter ends with the classic "Will he survive? Find out on next chapter!" text! But The Lost City isn't a great film either if compared to other films of that time. Acting isn't the best (especially the giants) and there are some scenes which look like it was filmed with a silent era film camera. Anyways, if you are watching this with a group of friends, then even better! There is everything you need for good laughs; Hilarious giants, special effects of that time, bad action scenes and overall acting... What more could you ask for? So, if you are thinking of setting up a black-and-white film night with your buddies, or if you just are a classic horror movie geek, then consider giving this film a shot. I don't know if many people would enjoy this film as much as I do but it's worth of finding out. But don't finish it on one sitting though, unless you are a extreme marathoner.
