Review of Teenage Caveman (2002) by Felice T — 02 Jul 2007

This mess of a film proves that even the best directors can make appalling and repulsive choices. The film starts off bad: the human race has nearly been wiped out and a remaining few live like cavemen, under the rule of a didactic paedophile and in fear of God.

It just gets worse: six teens from the tribe run away and encounter two superhumans who live in luxury and allow the teens to do whatever they want in the hope of mutating them also. The script and story is like it was written by an illiterate twelve year old, and the actors are all botton of the barrel nobodies with an iota of acting talent shared between them.

The movie is pretty much an unsexy soft porn movie taking every opportunity to get its young cast out of their clothes and into each other. There is good make up and prosthetics, but this film will only kill your braincells if you watch it.

It's a shame Larry Clarke even considered directing this movie.
