Over his time as a director Roger Corman directed some great movies. Unfortunately, he also directed some not so good ones. This one to me was a total dud and never really showed off any of Corman's true abilities as a director, but was made for $70,000 and made money at the box office.
Teenager Robert Vaughn (who looks 30, was actually 25 I believe) starts to questions things that go on within the society he is involved with back in the caveman days. I must say I enjoyed the fact that there is a message to the movie and a nice one, but the way it is delivered just wrecks the film. May work for a 5 year old who has never seen a movie before. Horrific costumes worn by the cave people and the monsters as well. There is a scene with a bear, it is obviously some actor in a bear suit. There are also gigantic monsters that unbelievably fight each other. Corman must have watched GODZILLA and thought hey we should slip that into the movie. To me this film is ruined by the low budget and low quality filming techniques. Was used for a episode of MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATRE 3000 and deserves it.
