Product Description

This singular film from Hammer Studios, set in the Stone Age, has almost no dialogue the people speak in grunts but it is strangely effective. Focused on a tribe of cavemen, and specifically a pair of twin brothers who become rivals for the leadership of the tribe following the impact of a devastating earthquake, the human struggles are portrayed fairly realistically (no dinosaurs roaming the earth). Directed by Don Chaffey (Jason and the Argonauts, One Million Years B.C.), whose ability to craft an engaging, human story with mythical characters and beasts was well-proven by the time he undertook this feature. Written by veteran Hammer producer and writer Michael Carreras (The Snorkel, Maniac, One Million Years B.C.), and starring beautiful Julie Ege (The Seven Brothers Meet Dracula), Brian O'Shaughnessey (The Gods Must Be Crazy), and Tony Bonner (Quigley Down Under); another lesser-known film that deserves its cult status. Newly remastered.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The last in Hammer's "Cave Girl" series of films (ca 1971.)
    Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This is the 4th film in that Cave Girl series. It is a fun film, though it does not have any dinosaurs in it. The cast speak in grunts, gestures and a few simple words. They actually do quite a good job communicating with gestures and looks. After a while you do not even notice the lack of comprehensible dialogue. I think they filmed this in Africa, though not sure. It brings up some age old themes: 2 brothers trying to best each other for leadership of the clan, or fighting over the same girl, trying to figure out the deeper meaning of Life and Human Existence. I got a real kick out of this film. I recommend it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars More realistic than previoius Hammer caveman films
    Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    In terms of pure escapist entertainment, this film falls short of the one that started it all: "One Million Years BC". The cavemen in this one are grungier, the women less glamorous, and there are no dinosaurs. That said, it is an attempt to be more realistic of cavemen in terms of (lack of) language skills, tho I would guess that by the time period of evolution depicted in this film, cavemen could do more than grunt and point. What this film does have going for it is a more realistic depiction of clothing and tools - the women go about in various forms of toplessness, obscured by hair, necklaces, bits of fur, and strategic camera angles. What drags this film down from being a good escapism watch are: (1) lack of dinosaurs, (2) lack of modern grooming, (3) a terrible fake bear scene, (4) reuse of footage which fans of "One Million Years BC" will spot immediately, (5) an unnecessarily complex "torture to death" bit designed to add drama to the storyline, and (6) lack of screen time by Julie Ege, the supposed star of the film who is largely ignored until the end, and who turns in a poor performance in a very not-sexy costume. Still, it's worth at least one viewing by Hammer fans. "One Million Years BC" set the mold, and ""When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth" was a decent sequel. "Prehistoric Women" (aka "Slave Girls") was a campy follow-up to both of those films. This film tried to go in a different direction and be more believable... up until the fake bear shows up.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Hammer Film reconsidered
    Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    Sony's burn-on-demand DVD-R of CREATURES THE WORLD FORGOT (1971) is a sharp transfer of an unrestored, original dye-transfer 35mm negative. It is widescreen, anamorphic, in rich color, uncut and uncensored.

    On the surface CREATURES THE WORLD FORGOT is pure exploitation. Savage cavemen hunt food, eat raw meat, fight over women, kill each other, deliver babies, observe rituals, and compete for leadership. The violence is constant, brutal, and bloody. In the absence of dinosaurs, the abundance of beautiful women and female nudity is sufficient reason to watch, but as the primitive society begins to take shape, and the two tribes start to barter, and the two brothers start fighting over the woman, it should become apparent there is more going on than mere titillation. This is a realistic story about primitives learning to govern their passions and violent instincts, to overcome their superstitions, and to mix with each other, so that they can survive in a relentlessly harsh environment. After an earthquake, the two tribes need each other to find a more hospitable place to live. They rely on the female shaman to guide them. It may not be the most sophisticated or well-informed treatise on early man, and the rituals depicted may not be grounded in historical reality, but the premise is viable, the conflicts are metaphorically interesting, the character interaction is well thought-out and reasonably well-acted, and the sight of all that bruised and bloodied flesh crossing hardscrabble landscapes tells us everything we need to know about the vulnerability of humans thousands of years before Christ. Indeed, CREATURES THE WORLD FORGOT invests the caveman society with an Old Testament quality.

    While it's true the Brits will come up with any excuse to run around naked on a desert island or a wilderness park, writer-producer Michael Carreras was on to something with his interest in making this kind of film. His depiction of the life of early man -- and woman -- is the forerunner to QUEST FOR FIRE (1983), CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR novels and all those History Channel docudramas. There is no narration, no contrived language, just grunts and groans. This is a legitimate drama, and director Don Chaffey works hard to tell it without dialogue. Chaffey's opening shots include what I presume are authentic rock paintings of wild antelope being hunted. He dissolves from the rock paintings into an actual antelope pursued by hunters with spears. When a hunter is gored, his companions bury him, while a hyena waits in the brush to dig him up again. Chaffey is particularly adept at composition, using the sky and landscapes of North Africa to good effect. His group shots and singles help us keep track of characters without names. He tries to make the rituals believable, and spends time to get the hunting sequences right. The animals are chosen so that they fit in with the story. The volcanic eruption and earthquake are effectively accomplished with old-fashioned opticals, which are no less unconvincing than modern-day CGI. The rhythmic percussion music by Mario Nascimbene serves the film extremely well.

    CREATURES THE WORLD FORGOT failed to make money for Hammer Films and Columbia in 1971. Blame it on the title. The title promises dinosaurs, or at least creatures, but they have nothing to do with the story being told here. The poster promises titillation which the film delivers, but it does not encourage viewers to look for the subtext underneath. With a more sensible title and a different poster, audiences would have gone in with realistic expectations and received the film differently. But under the title it's still saddled with, most viewers will merely assume, as audiences did in 1971, that Hammer was too cheap to pay for stop-motion dinosaurs. Nothing could be further from the point. A pity these burn-on-demand DVD-R's don't accommodate extras, because a commentary by someone who appreciates the film would serve to open it up to the majority of viewers who don't get it.

    Besides, where else can you see Rosalie Crutchley -- the unforgettably creepy housekeeper from THE HAUNTING (1963) -- play a cave-woman shaman?

    I really wanted to like this, but it was just so boring. I felt like I wanted to read a book at the same time. I love many slow, atmospheric movies, but this one just didn't do it for me. Might be your cup of tea though...

    Buscando completar un pedido de películas, me encontré con esta rareza. Hay que ser un poco friky, pero reconozco que me apetecía tenerla en mi colección de cine, que por cierto es muy amplia, con varios miles de títulos. Ya sé que para muchos no pasará de ser lo que es, una película de serie B, pero qué quieren que les diga, a mí me gustan y me divierten bastante. Por ello la recomendaría, pero sólo para las mentes abiertas cinéfilas hasta el extremo.

    2.0 out of 5 stars DRAMA PREHISTÓRICO
    Reviewed in Spain on January 13, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Esta película se acerca más a la realidad "prehistórica" que otras del tipo "Hace un millón de años" o "Cuando los dinosaurios dominaban la Tierra", ambas con evidentes anacronismos que sirven para potenciar el carácter de film de aventuras de ambas producciones (que aparezcan dinosaurios y otras bestias prehistóricas goza del favor de la mayoría del público).
    En este caso la película es mas bien un drama sobre luchas tribiales, y quien espere ver en pantalla dinosaurios y similares se va a llevar una gran desilusión; quizás sea ese punto, su "fidelidad" prehistórica, lo que hace que esta película falle y resulte un tanto aburrida y falta de dinamismo
