It's a fun, albeit really low budget, John Agar pic. With some reworking it could be a good summer flick with CGI effects and action, although the whole "Sumerians living underground" thing is pretty silly.

IIRC the high priest dude later played Alfred in the Batman series.

A couple of horror-themed cheese-balls right here:
This House Possessed
- an automated house goes nuts and tries to "keep" it's former owners' daughter
Invitation To Hell
- This one's got literally everything going for it: Robert Urich stars as a NASA scientist working on a super-suit for the exploration of Venus (complete with a flame thrower weapon in case astronauts encounter hostile alien life. On Venus. A planet with a surface temperature equivalent to molten lead) whose life takes a detour when he and his wife (played by
Blade Runner's Joanna Cassidy) and family move to a different neighborhood and he starts working for another company whose health benefits include a spa headed by the sinister Susan Lucci (
Days of our Lives)...
The Intruder Within a cheap but effective
Alien rip-off set on earth on an oil derrick off the coast of Antarctica (ignore the shoreline in the background and headlights of during night scenes, please). Cameo by then-unknown Michael "Saul Tigh" Hogan.
The Bermuda Depths - a surprisingly good "sea tale" horror/sf movie. Won't spoil any details.
Satan's Triangle which is a little like
The Exorcist meets any number of ho-hum docudramas from the 70s about The Bermuda Triangle.
The Lost Continent: I promise, the last nautically themed one on the list. You could make a good D&D adventure out of this one.
Frankenstein: The True Story because fuck yeah Jane Seymour!
and I'm done.
