Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: B --
The tremendous special effects of Willis O'Brien, who later did the same for King Kong, make this film essential viewing for film historians.

Rating: 4/5 --
Highly entertaining, if somewhat clumsy, silent special effects film.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
As soon as the thrilling sequences are reached, where the explorers are seen in the supposed habitat of the living dinosauri, brontosauri, allosauri and other prehistoric monsters, there is no end of excitement.

It built the mold for much of what came afterward, and those of us who enjoy fantastical films have much to thank it and Willis O'Brien for.

A grand old-fashioned adventure and special effects showcase that makes a direct appeal to the young and the young at heart.

From the Front Row
Harry Hoyt directed, combining incredible special effects (the monsters) and unbearable melodrama (the actors).

If you can accept all that as the product of its time, The Lost World still holds up surprisingly well.

Product Description:
Harry Hoyt directed the first film version of the dinosaur-inhabited land that time forgot, featuring wonderful early stop-motion animation by Willis O'Brien. The silent film, based on a story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, features Lewis Stone and the great Wallace Beery as Professor Challenger, as the intrepid explorers who travel to a remote jungle of Brazil to prove the Professor's theories that some prehistoric life might yet still remain. When the company is attacked by an apelike human, they begin to believe, but they have yet to meet the terror and wonder of the supposedly lost Allosaurus, Stegosaurus and Pterodactyl, sixty-five million years past their expiration date!
