WARLORDS OF ATLANTIS (1978) - Directed by Kevin Connor

AT THE EARTH'S CORE (1976) - Directed by Kevin Connor
Adapted from famed author and creator of generation endured and loved characters including Tarzan and John Carter, Edgar Rice Burrough’s novel of the same name, Amicus presents another visual spectacular where monsters rule the (inner) world.
Eccentric scientist Dr. Abner Perry (Peter Cushing), develops a huge burrowing machine to pierce the Earth’s core and explore the mysteries deep beneath the surface of our planet. Accompanied by his rich, young backer David Innes (McClure), they travel in the machine. However when it loses control and drills past the core, they realize they have discovered a twilight world ruled by evil giant pre-historic birds that have enslaved a tribe of humans. Can the Doctor and his backer help rescue the tribe and escape the evil clutches of their flying nemesis?
THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT (1975) - Directed by Kevin Connor
Adapted from another of Edgar Rice Burroughs much loved science fiction classic novels, this time exploring a lost world inhabited by fantastical deadly beasts, dinosaurs, hostile tribes and deadly wildlife.
Set during World War I, survivors of a sinking British merchant ship take the opportunity to command a passing German U-boat. During the violence, the boat loses radio contact and when the U-boat veers off course and loses fuel, they drift into a strange, mist-filled land bursting with rich vegetation. There, they discover huge prehistoric monsters and that dinosaurs still roam. Amid conflicts between the opposed nations, they are forced to bury their political differences in a combined effort for survival.
THEY CAME FROM BEYOND SPACE (1967) - Directed by Freddie Francis
Directed by two-time Academy Award winning cinematographer Freddie Francis, it cannot be denied that Francis was well-known for creating and delivering superior visuals in film – the key ingredient of sci-fi fare. THEY CAME FROM BEYOND SPACE was no exception.
Extra-terrestrials from outer space have developed a way of transforming brain-power into pure energy, at the expense of their physical forms. Needing new bodies to house the incredible force, the extra-terrestrials invade Earth to export human beings. No one is immune from the invasion except for scientist Dr. Curt Temple, whose skull, as a result of an accident, is reinforced with a metal plate.
