![]() ![]() It's like a very cheap and cheerless pop video and much of the acting is absolutely painful to watch. ![]() If a the screenwriter himself is so angry about the final product then that says everything you need to know as to a film's merits Much of the problem lies in the entire look of the movie for which director Pavlou must take full blame. The reviewers aren't kidding when they claim this one terrible movie. In fact the only recommendation I can give the movie is that everyone should watch it to see just how bad a film can be. Surely UNDERWORLD couldn't be that bad ? After seeing UNDERWORLD after a 25 year wait I have to confess it is indeed that bad. ![]() UNDERWORLD didn't as far as know even receive a video release and the only time it seemed referred to was in Barker interviews when he stated he was so upset by the way George Pavlou ruined his work in this movie and RAWHEAD REX that the only way he wanted to make HELLRAISER was to direct it himself. It struck me as a sci-fi horror film, a kind of QUATERMASS meets the body horror of David Cronenberg but for some strange reason it never appeared in any media reviews and this was a time when horror movies were rather fashionable, even an enjoyable mess of a movie like LIFEFORCE would be hyped by studios. A prostitute called Nicole is abducted from a high class brothel and businessman Hugo Motherskille hires private detective Roy Bain to find Nicole I spent years looking for this movie after seeing a making of feature on FILM 85. ![]()
