trimbolicelia Review of Creatures the World Forgot

Creatures the World Forgot (1971)

Creatures the World Forgot (And did good to forget!)

[5/10 · 15 October 2021]

Dull, early 70's color Hammer production. Stone Age humans live a harsh life, hunting, mating, fighting, and killing each other. Sounds like life today. All the actors, including the leads, wear little, are tattooed, look unwashed (which is the most realistic aspect of this whole mishmash), and are generally unattractive. It was hard to sit through this slog. No dinosaurs, also realistic. The few animals you see are modern-day, slightly unrealistic. I guess the producers didn't want to spend the pounds making early mammal effects. Dinosaurs, however incorrect for the time, would have livened things up. This flick needed someone like Raquel Welch to keep interest going. This film makes One Million Years B. C. look like Citizen Kane or Gone With the Wind. One question though; what precisely were the creatures that the world forgot? The Columbia Classics DVD-R is very good quality, if this is your bowl of antelope burger.
