First time I am seeing this - one of my favorite Don Sharp movies of all time is "Kiss of the Vampire". Thank you so much for uploading "What Waits Below"!
Ohh Robert Powell! 💗 I used to have posters of him all over my bedroom walls! I was mad about him! I cant believe ive never seen this film! Ive never seen him in a bad film so im going to enjoy this! I thought he was the best Jesus id ever seen in that role! His presence onscreen was so reverent & not of this world, he was just how i imagined Jesus would have looked! Oddly after that film, i couldnt bring myself to fancy him any more, it felt wrong somehow, I know he was just an actor playing a film part but... God works in mysterious ways Even though im not religious I couldnt work out why i felt As i did.

An excellent, atmospheric, captivating film, enhanced by the unsettling score by Denny Jaeger - and by Michel Rubini, famed for "Manhunter"! When, as a child, I was creating lists of horror films, catalogued by my own "genres" - divided mostly by the subjects or locations, e.g. "Swamp Horrors", "Tunnel Horrors" or "Underwater Horrors" - I made a list of "Cavern Horrors", too. It was, in fact, rather surprisingly long, with at least 20 films that fulfilled my little criteria... and I remember listing "What Waits Below" among the best three of them, perhaps even as the top one. Many, many years later, with other, newer "cave horrors" films having been made since then, I still would not have changed my mind!
Thanks for this. Never heard of it before & well worth the watch. Sad so many people had to die especially as the tribe were simply protecting themselves & their home.
Stories can often be sad, but luckily nobody really died bcuz it’s just fiction! Hang in there kiddo! By the way, there are far more horrible things happening right outside your window, in your neighborhood and town!😊
@@DonaldPBorchersOG I thank you for this upload too. It's always most appreciable when UA-cam channels like yours can allow access to particularly enjoyable films like this that most of the mainstream TV may not.
I remember watching this as a kid back in the late 80's or early 90's and it was a genuinely creepy film and I think it still is. I think there's a fair bit of influence on "The Descent" from this! Sure it went on another name "Secrets of the Phantom Caverns".
Journey to the center of the earth had similar monsters, but ever since man could write there has been tales of beings living in deep caves, and either and offshoot of humanity thousands of years ago, or completely different altogether. There has been descriptions from hairy humanoid forms like bigfoot with red eyes, to lizard types, I for one believe that there has to be a reason for all this, but I think it's a rabbit hole that involves inter dimensional or aliens that experiment with DNA of life forms we know nothing about. What's interesting is the sci-fi lovers know this, look at Star wars characters, look at old books, look at even land of the lost as kids watching Chaka and sleestacks
Same. I was very young and got my mum to tape it for me when it was shown on BBC 1 at some point in the early 90’s. Didn’t catch the title at the time so the tape was labelled ‘monster cave film’. Moisture got in and the film was lost to me. Nobody I talked to about this film had any idea of its existence. Thanks to a very vague but passionate description to my friend with internet(and internet banking of all things!), in about 2009. Said friend found it on DVD! I new that this film existed! I’ve watched at least once a year ever since.
Especially with the most basically impressive quotes like Wolf's "In a cave, the only predictable element is the unpredictable." which enriches the atmosphere of the era.
This is a great go-to movie. If you listen to his voice it's familiar - Robert Powell played Jesus of Nazareth. The Lemurian race is represented here in the underground caverns.
I can remember seeing it for the first time on TV in the 80s. There was something that set it apart from most of the popular sci-fi of that decade which made it particularly enjoyable for me.
Wow only saw the last 15mins 30 some yes ago then found it and saw the whole thing . I love this movie. Imagine if this was true. Thank you for putting this up

This is a cool movie... almost in the same genre as "The Descent," but the latter film was far more gruesome! At least, the subterranean spooks in this movie had the decency to wear clothes!
Everytime I watch this I keep thinking how awesome it would have been to have Powell and Weary do a sequel with a different setting they were magic together in this film

Thought you may like to know that I was banned from all sleep overs when I was a child, for taking "Children or the corn" along to a slumber party when I was nine and scaring the ever living shite out of all my nine years old girl pals. 😅
So this was Robert Powells debut into the US film industry. I know Powell mainly from his work with his mate and comedian Jasper Carrot in the sitcom "The Detectives". Powell worked on it as a favor for Jasper. He was also in the film adaptation of "Tommy" for all The Who fans.
@9:20- Belize is NOT in S. America, but in Central America. Who doesn't know THAT? @56:02- he hands Santos his weapon back saying, "It shouldn't "jam" on you again." It's a revolver! They don't 'jam'!
So when did they move Belize to South America? And the Omega system required extremely long antenna wires....thousands of feet and straight lines.. not too many caves like that . My dad had to visit one of those places on the east coast when he was in the military - he told me about it when I was a kid. The thing that stuck in my memory was the fact that visitors in vehicles had to park against a well-grounded metal fence to prevent getting a hefty shock when they got out of the car - the EMF around the antennas generated a charge in any piece of metal nearby - if the metal was isolated from the ground (like a car), it would ground through you when you touched it: imagine a dry carpet and your plastic shoes rubbing it times ten....ouch!
Hola me encantan las peliculas de aventuras y espeologia , y geología son muy interesantes y entretenidas, es una historia fascinante, que se puede ajustar un poco a la realidad. Ya que hoy en día no sabemos dentro de algunas cuevas o mundos subterráneos si aún puede quedar alguna civilización remota perdida en la noche de los tiempos , como lo que que encontro en La Cueva De Los Tallos , una buena pelicula con mucho suspense hasta el final , muchos saludos.🧭🧭🧭🗺🏞🏕🏕🏕❤😘🌄❤
Wasn't impressed at first, especially since I thought, it was a SA film, which kinda suck. But, it picked up, and kept my attention. Never even heard of this sci-fi/horror, adventure film🎞️, and wasn't disappointed either. It's all fun and games, 'till David Bowie shows up (1:04:52)😏…………
Surrounded by ancient, huge, phallic stalagmites, a subterrestrial hominid alien Fighter channels David Bowie practicing Mixed Martial Arts and is defeated by the Human spelunker who practices superior MMA and stabs the alien leader with the alien's magical crystal blade. The subterrestrial hominid alien Leader then transfers the alien ephod-mantle from the defeated alien fighter to the Human victor. You will not believe what happens next!
Enjoyed this movie, thanks!!. Just one observation, at 9:21 they are at a camp in Belize, but inside the tent where they're being briefed there's a red, yellow and green flag which happens to be Bolivia's.
This movie is pretty obsure, for years I never found anyone who even knew of it. It kind of turns into a Star Trek episode after a certain point, but I don't mind that. Much of it is a bit like The Descent. Be great if someone would do a proper blu ray release of it.
There is NO scenario where I go into a cave with guns and lights against a bunch of blind people and I don't come out the winner, unless I run out of bullets and batteries. These people didn't use their resources to full effect.
My impression: The film scenario is excellent. The storyline theme is original and holds a balanced middle between adventure, science fiction, anthropological and horror, none of any of those four pushing the others in a corner, the balance is kept up to the end. That makes it quite exceptional, as a scenario. There is very well developed story-wise logic, that also is not disrupted any moment. (It happens with lots of movies that the 'inner logic' at some point gets broken up with scenes that come in as if written for a different movie, and give absolutely unsatisfying feelings. Not here ! The only moment it becomes a little bit weaker is in the end. But at least, it's an open end leaving questions, not adding absurdities. (Loads full of films do have an end that clearly shows, the story writer/scenario writer had no idea how to built this end it in equilibrated logic.) So, little weak points > In the ending, it could be a little bit better (the scene where the bracelet is given back to the undergrounder, needed better followup to explain the 'peacefull' separation of undergrounders and explorers... I guess SOME budget and extra 5-8 minutes of film were needed to get a real satisfying end. (We know it was low budget, and already a lot of hours were lost due to the CO-intoxication incident...) Other weak point, was the lack of storywise explanations on the black killing monsters. Just a short sequence in the film, not preceded by storywise evidence, neither followed by any storywise 'evidence' why the undergrounders did not seem to interfere with the monsters, only the explorers did. Here, it feels like if the idea of 'part horror' was introduced by some other member of the team, not the original storywriter ??? "A more or less loose drop in" , however, glued together quite well. It's forgiven.. lol lol (I'm guessing, but I observed lots of trouble in film making in general due to conflicts within the team.) The production notes from Donand P. Borchers, are excitingly interesting : "The director was unhappy". As we enjoy the results, I suspect is was much more about his personal feelings on the set (due to conflicts..) then about the quality level as such. (Who will know this ?) Fact is that storytelling / scenario is so strong, that whatever minor (budgetwise) quality cuts in the production are forgivable ! Lets remember: 'how to do a GOOD low budget film' , is a 1000 times more difficult then when swimming in production money. (And even then, a film can fail.. lol) CHEERS ALL.
I would say it should be obvious that the Lemurians know full well about the cave creatures and avoid/use them as a food source. In fact one might presume they were added to provide a presumption of other life in the caves. Otherwise greater ambiguity about the Lemurians as cannibals would have made them much less relatable. Just my two cents.
wait, stalagtite creation (goliath) is affected by the particulars of each ingredient. Rate has to assume each ingredient is constant and that cannot be assumed to be so...........rate is not constant if not proven so by testable science, else is just assumption.

times ten....ouch!
You make good points. Thanks for the visit!
Well done 👏
Thanks for the visit!
Not bad. Worth the watch.
Welcome.
Thank you
Welcome.
Hola me encantan las peliculas de aventuras y espeologia , y geología son muy interesantes y entretenidas, es una historia fascinante, que se puede ajustar un poco a la realidad.
Ya que hoy en día no sabemos dentro de algunas cuevas o mundos subterráneos si aún puede quedar alguna civilización remota perdida en la noche de los tiempos , como lo que que encontro en La Cueva De Los Tallos , una buena pelicula con mucho suspense hasta el final , muchos saludos.🧭🧭🧭🗺🏞🏕🏕🏕❤😘🌄❤
Welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. I post adventure movies here: ua-cam.com/play/PLk3CReZFhoBe8tE38d2OYKumVMVVDkoki.html
Always wondered what became of Lisa Blount after An Officer and a Gentleman.
She had her career start on THE GONG SHOW in 1977, on the same episode with Pee Wee Herman.
@@DonaldPBorchersOG R.I.P. both : (
@@PresenceUponMe Thank you for your kind words.
@@DonaldPBorchersOG Thank you for your great movies!
Wasn't impressed at first, especially since I thought, it was a SA film, which kinda suck. But, it picked up, and kept my attention. Never even heard of this sci-fi/horror, adventure film🎞️, and wasn't disappointed either.
It's all fun and games, 'till David Bowie shows up (1:04:52)😏…………
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Good movie!
Thanks for the visit!
it was a great movie, not cheesy
Welcome.
The sound, well the sound is like if they shot this as a silent movie and added sound, including voices, in a studio afterwards.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.

Thanks for the visit!
Interesting movie
Welcome.
Haven't seen this great movie in years
Fond memories. Enjoy!
Great film! Thanks for sharing! So, the ancient Lemurians settled in Central America? Cool! What happened to Thongor? Ha
Welcome, and ... Good question!
good story with some thoughtful attention to details, might have thought it was from a book for those reasons, eg susceptibility to disease,etc.
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
Vaguely similar to the excellent science fiction novel "The Descent" which was dumbed down to become a horror movie also called " The Descent."
Except Descent was a true story.
Thanks for the visit!
Surrounded by ancient, huge, phallic stalagmites, a subterrestrial hominid alien Fighter channels David Bowie practicing Mixed Martial Arts and is defeated by the Human spelunker who practices superior MMA and stabs the alien leader with the alien's magical crystal blade. The subterrestrial hominid alien Leader then transfers the alien ephod-mantle from the defeated alien fighter to the Human victor. You will not believe what happens next!
Stupid imaginary 90s movie
Ha! Thanks for the visit!
Enjoyed this movie, thanks!!. Just one observation, at 9:21 they are at a camp in Belize, but inside the tent where they're being briefed there's a red, yellow and green flag which happens to be Bolivia's.
Good catch. You might want to post that blooper on the movie's trivia page: contribute.imdb.com/updates/edit?edit=tt0088392/fun-facts&ref_=tt_trv_trv
@@DonaldPBorchersOG I'll check it. Cheers 👍🍺
I thought they said Nicaragua.
You can't count on movies to be completely accurate
A big part of this movie was filmed just 30 minutes from my home the huge caverns in Alabama
Did you want to be an extra in it?
@@DonaldPBorchersOG truth be told I didn't even know they where shooting a movie lol

Could you please loading to film The Strangers in 1985
No. I am not allowed to. Thanks for the visit!
@@DonaldPBorchersOG the The Strangers Film are as almost same with this film - what waits below

You mean The Strangeness?
@@gibsonraymonda Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
This movie is pretty obsure, for years I never found anyone who even knew of it. It kind of turns into a Star Trek episode after a certain point, but I don't mind that. Much of it is a bit like The Descent. Be great if someone would do a proper blu ray release of it.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
There is NO scenario where I go into a cave with guns and lights against a bunch of blind people and I don't come out the winner, unless I run out of bullets and batteries. These people didn't use their resources to full effect.
Roger that. Thanks for the visit!
My impression:
The film scenario is excellent. The storyline theme is original and holds a balanced middle between adventure, science fiction, anthropological and horror, none of any of those four pushing the others in a corner, the balance is kept up to the end. That makes it quite exceptional, as a scenario. There is very well developed story-wise logic, that also is not disrupted any moment. (It happens with lots of movies that the 'inner logic' at some point gets broken up with scenes that come in as if written for a different movie, and give absolutely unsatisfying feelings. Not here ! The only moment it becomes a little bit weaker is in the end. But at least, it's an open end leaving questions, not adding absurdities. (Loads full of films do have an end that clearly shows, the story writer/scenario writer had no idea how to built this end it in equilibrated logic.)
So, little weak points >
In the ending, it could be a little bit better (the scene where the bracelet is given back to the undergrounder, needed better followup to explain the 'peacefull' separation of undergrounders and explorers... I guess SOME budget and extra 5-8 minutes of film were needed to get a real satisfying end. (We know it was low budget, and already a lot of hours were lost due to the CO-intoxication incident...)
Other weak point, was the lack of storywise explanations on the black killing monsters. Just a short sequence in the film, not preceded by storywise evidence, neither followed by any storywise 'evidence' why the undergrounders did not seem to interfere with the monsters, only the explorers did. Here, it feels like if the idea of 'part horror' was introduced by some other member of the team, not the original storywriter ??? "A more or less loose drop in" , however, glued together quite well. It's forgiven.. lol lol (I'm guessing, but I observed lots of trouble in film making in general due to conflicts within the team.)
The production notes from Donand P. Borchers, are excitingly interesting :
"The director was unhappy". As we enjoy the results, I suspect is was much more about his personal feelings on the set (due to conflicts..) then about the quality level as such. (Who will know this ?) Fact is that storytelling / scenario is so strong, that whatever minor (budgetwise) quality cuts in the production are forgivable ! Lets remember: 'how to do a GOOD low budget film' , is a 1000 times more difficult then when swimming in production money. (And even then, a film can fail.. lol)
CHEERS ALL.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Welcome.
I would say it should be obvious that the Lemurians know full well about the cave creatures and avoid/use them as a food source.
In fact one might presume they were added to provide a presumption of other life in the caves.
Otherwise greater ambiguity about the Lemurians as cannibals would have made them much less relatable.
Just my two cents.
How did these underground folks make their clothes? Where did they get the fabric?
Food for thought! Thanks for the visit!
They made it out of their own hair. Believe it or not, hair is stronger than people think
I keep thinking the best movie is an inspiration for that James Cameron movie The Abyss from 1989
Roger that. Thanks for watching.
I was watching Exorcist Believer but it was so bad sio I found this movie and it is so much better
Welcome.
Is this a so called CULT CLASSIC ?????????????? I am spell bound.
Welcome.
wait, stalagtite creation (goliath) is affected by the particulars of each ingredient. Rate has to assume each ingredient is constant and that cannot be assumed to be so...........rate is not constant if not proven so by testable science, else is just assumption.
otherwise is mear "historical science" which is not the same as impirical science, and requires a measure of faith.
Thanks for the visit!
Lol! Overanalyzing a movie that's strictly designed for entertainment is absurd. Hollywood will always take creative liberties just to entertain
@@tiffanyeyoung1800 in western thought we become brothers/sisters, not ying/yang. Value the "being known" part of exístanse, just as much as being entertained. It is the privilage of perfected lenguage/ communal thought.
@@strausshome6911 And it's complete BS!
Amusing how people are analyzing the mistakes as if Hollywood is going to bother with authenticity
Thanks for watching, and for sharing your thoughts.
Even Robert Powell couldn’t save this one. Dreadful
Thanks for your opinion.
that early-on stunt of jeep going over the cliff; i slowed it down and it's real guys standing on the jeep when it goes over and then falling with it, dangerous, I assumed it was dummies until i looked closer. Wonder how much they got paid? "Cause Im the unknown stuntman.."
You are correct. Actual stunt. Thanks for the visit!
If so you must some be some old fit bastard now. 😅😅😅
Great Movie! the good stuff starts at about 25min in,just saying
