Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Rainey Dawn I was bored with this film right from the start. I hit the fast-forward button then back to normal speed for the ending. I realize this film is something of a cult classic but right now I'm not "feeling it". I might try watching this film again in the future - maybe if I'm in one of my really dorky moods and want something stupid to watch but that might be a very long time from now.I bet Eegah is where Encino Man (1992) lifted it's idea from. A caveman in the current modern times. I got a few giggles out of Encino Man, but I didn't crack a tiny smile nor giggle to myself at Eegah. Eegah bored me and had me rolling my eyes at it.1/10
ofpsmith Eegah. Does the title even sound like it's going to try to be a good movie? I honestly don't know what to say. The acting first of all is pretty bad and it never get's better than being laughable. A good chunk of that comes from Arch Hall Jr. who kind of looks like a teenage Donald Trump. The MST3K crew had a field day with how stupid this guy looks. The attempt this movie makes at being a monster movie are pretty weak. The monster isn't really that impressive. It's just Richard Kiel in a beard. He doesn't really do much other than lumber around. There is only one way to watch this movie. The Mystery Science Theatre 3000 is hilarious. It's always funny to watch but this one is especially funny. I can't really imagine this horrible film being tolerable any other way.
Bezenby It took three attempts to get through this one. That's not a good sign. First time round I thought 'this looks like a slow one' and set it aside to watch during the day. Then I get round to watching it during the day and fall asleep after half an hour! Arch Hall Jnr and his girlfriend Becky (I think), are to meet up somewhere or other so that Becky can show off her new bikini. Arch works at a petrol station and feels the need to gibber on to customers about this, while spilling gasoline everywhere. Then he apologises about that and starts rabbiting on again. The customer in this scene also appears to be drinking a beer. By-gone days indeed.Becky's driving along and manages to knock down a massive caveman played by Richard Kiel (we've all got to start somewhere I guess). She freaks out and the caveman runs off. Arch and her dad don't believe a word of it, but then decide to go out to shadow mountain to track down the caveman.This is where we run into Beast of Yucca Flats territory and the film becomes boring to the point of pain. Dad gets captured by Eegah. The kids run around looking for him. Becky gets kidnapped by Eegah. The viewer gets bored. Arch runs around looking for him. Becky and Dad try and communicate with Eegah. The viewer falls asleep. Becky teaches Eegah how to shave (no, really!). Eegah draws a picture of her. The viewer slips dangerously into a coma.If you're reading this at all then you've heard this film is one of them 'so bad it's good' bad movies. It's not. Robo Vampire is a so bad it's good film. Eegah is just boring. Even the chase through the desert is boring. It only picks up in the last ten minutes when Eegah arrives in town looking for Becky. Arch Hall Jnr gets some musical numbers in which isn't too bad.The worst thing about this is that it was made by the same folks that made The Sadist! Now that's a good film! See that one instead and avoid this one.
cobern_usmc The film I chose to review for Le bad cinema is Eegah which stars Arch Hall Jr., Arch Hall Sr., Marilyn Manning, and Richard Kiel. This movie is the story of a couple of teenagers that stumble upon a giant caveman in the desert and have various encounters with him throughout the film. At the beginning, Roxy Miller (Marilyn Manning) is driving down the road in the desert and almost crashes into Eegah (Richard Kiel). She gets away and tells her boyfriend Tom Nelson (Arch Hall, Jr.), and her father Robert Miller (Arch Hall, Sr.) about her crazy encounter with the cave man. Her father gets the bright idea to venture off into the desert alone to try and get a photo of Eegah. He then arranges to have a helicopter drop him off in the desert then come back to get him at a certain time.Tom and Roxy begin to worry because Mr. Miller has not yet returned so they take Tom's dune buggy out to look for him. Eegah kidnaps Roxy and takes her to his cave. This is where we see the traditional "monster carrying the girl" scene. Once inside the cave Roxy finds her father alive but with a hurt arm. It becomes apparent that Eegah is attracted to Roxy and her father pretty much just tells her to keep him distracted and to give him what he wants so that he doesn't kill the both of them. I found this part of the film actually quite priceless. Eegah leaves the cave for a short while but blocks the door so that Roxy nor her father can escape. Roxy then decides to give her father a shave to help him feel better. When Eegah comes back he notices Roxy shaving her father and decides he wants one too. Tom finally makes it to the cave and helps his girlfriend and her father escape the mighty Eegah with his trusty dune buggy.It takes them a while to finally get out of the desert because they keep getting turned around as Eegah continues to chase after them in hopes of getting Roxy back. Eegah follows them all the way back to civilization. He ends up on a small rampage at the party where Roxy and Tom are. The cops are called and when they arrive they unload their pistols on Eegah and shoot him to death causing his body to fall into the swimming pool. At this same moment Mr. Miller quotes some sort of bible verse that just wasn't even necessary to be in the film.This film was made very low budget and even though it wasn't that great I enjoyed the story line and got a few laughs out of how badly made the film actually was. During the cave scene it's quite obvious that the insides of the cave walls are made out of some sort of cloth resembling thick sheets. Overall I would recommend this film for other people to watch if they've got nothing better to do. It's literally so bad it's funny. Watching this film on the episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 made it even funnier.
