As I sat down in 2022 to watch the 1982 movie "Horror Safari" (aka "Invaders of the Lost Gold"), I had never even heard about the movie before. I stumbled upon it by random chance, as I was perusing movies that had Laura Gemser on the cast list.
And as I came across "Invaders of the Lost Gold", naturally I opted to sit down and watch what writers Alan Birkinshaw, Bill James and Dick Randall had to offer with this particular movie.
The storyline was semi-adequate. It was fairly straight forward, I will say that much, but at the same time not enough of anything overly interesting really happened to make the movie keep a grip on my attention. So it was somewhat of a struggle to keep sitting through this movie.
The acting performances in the movie were adequate, taking into consideration the limitations imposed on the actors and actresses from a weak script and storyline.
While "Invaders of the Lost Gold" was watchable, it wasn't a particularly grand movie experience. So it turned out that I hadn't actually been missing out on anything great here. I managed to sit through the movie, but were only slightly entertained. This is not a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time, nor is it a movie that I would recommend you rush out to get to watch.
My rating of director Alan Birkinshaw's 1982 movie lands on a three out of ten stars.
