Eegah
“The Crazed Love Of A Prehistoric Giant For A Ravishing Teen-Age Girl!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 69, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A Palm Springs teenager meets a surviving caveman, while the film also tries very hard to launch a singing career. Richard Kiel supplies the imposing presence; everyone else supplies the extraordinary social awkwardness. The odd dialogue and abrupt musical priorities make this a durable group curiosity.

The reviewers find it less terrible than its reputation but point to weak acting, odd dubbing and the singer character's limited relevance to the story. Full review text consulted on 2026-11-10.
