Le peuple de l'enfer

It's so easy to make fun of low budget horror films. I refuse to do that. This is an imaginative look at a race of people who live under the earth. They have evolved to be lacking in pigment and their eyes have low tolerance for light. This parallels the non- human creatures who live in dark places. When scientist investigate these characters, they find there is an oppressive culture that has enslaved others. They are actually using ritual sacrifices, so things aren't much better below ground than above it. The use of light comes into the fray and a god, Ishtar, is seen as vengeful. The special effects are reasonable and the creatures are interesting. Take this for what it is and for what a task is accomplished.
