Pretty Good

A Major Disappointment

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Part horror, part post-apocalyptic and all Larry Clark. Like any of the three and Teenage Caveman is more than worth a viewing. It certainly doesn't deserve the low rating it has on IMDb. Teenage Caveman is a hidden gem, probably missing the main stream audiences due to the strong content it contains. Just Larry Clark doing his thing. Sex, violence and drugs, with some morale messages mixed in. You are unlikely to see this on prime time TV any time soon and I have never seen it in any video store. Yes, some parts may be a little shocking but it is a great film so search it out and see it.

Okay, so the film isn't great, but who cares? I honestly prefer this to something like star wars, which has the same lack of content except that your expected to take it seriously. In fact, I like this film quite a bitThe sex scenes go a little overboard, but I appreciate it more for the fact that it reminds me of going to high school as an adolescent, from the perspective of Neil...sometimes you're the super-cool guy going to parties, drinking, sleeping with girls, other times you're heartbroken by the person you care most about, and sometimes you're the mutant freakthat and any movie with a soundtrack including the misfits is good by me

This was the worst of the worst ever committed to celluloid -- I don't care if it was suppose to be a parody of B movies or not, it was such a horrible film. And please don't ask me why I sat through it...Maybe it was like a horrible accident on the highway and you can't help but slow down and take in as much as you can, no matter how gruesome. Andrew Keegan, what were you THINKING?! WERE you thinking?! What were any of these actors thinking? "It's a JOB." Yes, but have some dignity if you're going to pursue acting and utilize your intelligence to know when you're in a crappy film and when you're in an indie feature that will be enjoyed (if not remembered fondly) in years to come. I gave it a "1", but believe me when I say it wasn't worthy of even THAT.

Minor spoilers. Loosely based on the 1958 Roger Corman barring the same name, this disaster takes place In a post-apocalyptic future, where a group of teens leave their clan and find a young couple who take them in. Everything is fine at first, until people begin mutating or dying. What is this strange couple hiding? Yikes, this film was painful to sit through. The acting was decent enough, there were some nice, unexpected gore scenes (exploding bodies, heads ripped off, and more!), the film looked great visually (striking cinematography), and the creature/make-up effects were quite cool (They were done by Stan Winston studios though so that's a given). However, the dialogue is banal and the film doesn't feel as much like a horror movie as it does a sleazy excuse to show unnecessary male and female nudity. A real shame, because had the script been reworked and had the producers hired a different director, this could have been a worthwhile effort. As it stands, it's a piece of crap. 1/10.
