i saw this film on VHS around 1988. it was somewhat disturbing...and a little slow moving in some spots. but looking back on it now, i think the slow pacing was meant to reflect the slow death (and the growing despair) suffered by the protagonists. there were several frightening scenes (i.e. the man urinating the last of his bodily fluids down his pant leg) as death came to these explorers. the long and short of it is that this was a surreal film, with an intentionally (in my opinion) disjointed narrative flow that did not receive the attention or recognition it deserved.
