Storyline

Anthropologist Dr. Brockton (Joan Crawford) unearths a troglodyte (an Ice Age 'missing link" half-caveman, half-ape) and manages to domesticate him - until he's let loose by an irate land developer (Michael Gough) to go on a rampage and kidnap a little girl. Crawford's last feature film. Written by alfiehitchie

A real camp classic, bad but never boring
14 July 2007 | by (Worcester, MA) – See all my reviews

"Trog" is one dumb and cheap little flick. I guess thats what you get when you make a movie based around the fact you found a costume from another movie ("2001" in this case) in the dumpster. To be honest, this is actually competently made in some departments (the direction by Freddie Francis is fine as usual). Its just that the script is so unbelievably silly that this is placed firmly in the "so-bad-its-good" category. All the characters are astonishingly one-note (can you remember a scene with Michael Gough where he wasn't angry and complaining?). The dialog and situations are overwrought camp.

The most unintentionally hilarious part is either Trog's final rampage (theres some unexpected minor gore here) or the laughable attempts at commentary regarding evolution versus religion (not exactly the articulate debates that "2001" or even "Horror Express" raised). Not exactly the best way for Joan Crawford to go out, but lots of fun for psychotronic fans. "Trog" is the kind of movie that makes me hope everyone involved was only in it for the money (fortunately they were). (5/10)
