Question
Hi!
I remember watching at a movie for 15-20 years ago, but I think the movie itself is older (Not sure because the VHS was a bad copy). What I remember was the following; a group of people (maybe archaeologists) found a cave (maybe in central america) they enter the cave by climbing down and in the cave they found a huge system of paths. To remember where they were, they pilled a number of small stones in the paths. Later on in the movie the get in contact with a old population who has lived in these caves for hundreds of years (I think they still lived, but maybe the were ghosts, can't remember that). They were like albinos or something, white dressed and I think they were hostile.

Anyone seen this movie?
I will soon go crazy if I can't find it. I don't think the movie itself was really that good, it's just that I want to know the title and maybe watch it again.

No! it is no the Mole people 1956 movie and not the descent either!....the movie I'm talking about is in color
