Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Land Unknown is a 1957 American Science Fiction adventure movie about a Lost World filled with dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. It was directed by Virgil W. Vogel and stars Jock Mahoney, Shirley Patterson (billed as Shawn Smith), William Reynolds, Henry Brandon, and Douglas Kennedy.The movie involves a US Navy expedition into Antarctica to investigate some unusual warm-water springs. One of the expedition’s helicopters, carrying four people, flies into a storm, damaging the rotor. The chopper is forced down into a massive, surprisingly warm valley below a thick layer of mist. They soon discover the valley is home to a gaggle of prehistoric creatures, kept alive by the warm springs heating the area and keeping the Antarctic chill at bay. They also meet a survivor from a previous Antarctic expedition, named Hunter, who’s gone a little crazy from his time in the valley. He offers to guide them to a cache of supplies that’ll help them fix the helicopter, but demands that the sole woman on the helicopter crew, Maggie Hathaway, remain with him. This goes over about as well as you’d expect with everyone else, but with the radio’s battery too low to get a signal out of the valley, time is running out for the survivors…Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

comment
Dumb Dinos: Dumber than most. A Tyrannosaurus loses track of one of the characters… because said character tripped and rolled under a log that the Tyrannosaurus walks over only a few seconds later, in wide-open terrain.

Brown Note: Hunter’s conch horn emits a very loud one of these. Unlike some examples, it simply makes them turn around and go away, and it doesn’t seem to work on humans.
