Jerry WarrenThe Incredible Petrified World (1957)

It's supposed to be cutting edge science: a diving bell that can descend the depths of the ocean. However, when a cable snaps, the crew fears that they may perish inside. After the crew leaves the bell to explore, they soon find a large network of caves and a survivor who has been there for over a decade. The survivor reveals the horrible truth: there is no way to get out of the caves. Or is there a way?

Subject: A Waste of John Carradine

In the first few minutes a shark tears up an octopus, pretty cool.
That's when the narrator tells us the ocean is a jungle. All the dialog stinks like that.

Subject: Don't bother

There's one marginally chilling moment in the whole movie. Aside from that it's a handbook of static directing and wooden acting.
