The story involves a team of anthropologists and military men who busy themselves exploring a serpentine system of subterranean caves. They discover of lost race of Albinos, which wreaks havoc upon the surface dwelling humans. The British actor Robert Powell and Timothy Bottoms star. According to some sources, Sharp and co. approached the production with extreme carelessness; thanks to an unfortunate accident, a large percentage of the cast and crew were almost fatally poisoned by carbon monoxide in the caves where the movie was filmed. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A team of anthropologists and U.S military personnel discover a new cave system in central America and encounter a hostile race of albino people after venturing inside. I do enjoy subterranean horror films and this one was quite fun despite being cheesy and a little odd once we are shown just what is waiting below. It's tame but entertaining.
