This adventure film had a ridiculous plot and such a low-budget for special effects that you'll see a man in a dinosaur suit, puppets and monitor lizards standing in for dinosaurs. Somehow it held my interest.

Before there was "The Land of the Lost

Before there was "The Land of the Lost", there was "The Land Unknown". This 1957 science fiction adventure is not perfect (How ridiculous does that Tyrannosaurus Rex costume look?) and the special effects are not the best I have ever seen, but I still could not help but like the movie at least a little. I was never bored and as I said previously the special effects are not that good, but at the same time they are not terrible. To be fair the producers did not have much of a budget to work with. The movie was supposed to be filmed in color and the special effects were supposed to be more elaborate but Universal made several budget cuts which forced changes. The original director of the movie quit out of protest of the budget cuts. What made me enjoy the movie to a certain extent is the main cast. I think they all do a very good job in their respective roles. The late Jock Mahoney and the late Shirley Patterson (Billed as Shawn Smith.) had good chemistry together. Also, I think "The Land Unknown" is a good length in that it was not too long. The movie took just the right amount of time to tell its story (Something Judd Apatow needs to learn.). So in the end, for all of its flaws, "The Land Unknown" is good entertainment. The movie may not have a lasting impression on you (As it may have on Sid and Marty Kroft.), but I think you will enjoy it for what it's worth.

I’d watch this with a double feature with the cyclops! But it does rip off the cyclops a little bit because this movie came out just a day before Halloween and the cyclops came out in July. I love the dinosaurs and creatures and actors.
