The Incredible Petrified World (1958)

An American adventure directed by Jerry Warren, starring John Carradine.
A group of people try to explore the deep ocean in a diving bell, but get cut off from their surface contact. After the mishap with the bell, they don scuba gear and swim into a network of caves that are supplied with air by a volcano.
The lackluster plot and "B" acting made this generally uninteresting. It looked and sounded older than '58 to me, so we've got poor production value as well. I know what crappy movies are and don't feel the need to get verbose about it. I rate this bad for being poorly made and boring. Don't watch it.

Teenage Zombies (1959)

An American science fiction film written, produced and directed by Jerry Warren.
A mad scientist who is developing mind control gas kidnaps a group of teens on a boating trip. When other teens realize that their friends are missing, they go to law enforcement, but to no avail. All the teens work together to free themselves from the mad scientist.
Not a good movie. The plot was overly complex for the simple story that was told and too many things were implied instead of being said or shown. The characters were less than two-dimensional to the point that it seemed everyone was an extra. The action sequence (there was only one) looked overthought, overchoreographed and super-fake. Also, there was a night scene that was filmed in broad daylight. In fact, there was nothing good about this film. I rate it bad. Don't watch it.
