I recently viewed the UK 🇬🇧 Hammer Film Creatures the World Forgot (1971) on Tubi. The film unfolds in prehistoric times, with a volcano eruption claiming the life of a tribe leader. Two brothers vie for leadership, with the winner earning not only leadership but also the tribe's babe.
Directed by Don Chaffey (Jason and the Argonauts), the film features Julie Ege (On Her Majesty's Secret Service), Tony Bonner (The Man from Snowy River), Brian O'Shaughnessy (The Gods Must Be Crazy), and Rosalie Crutchley (The Haunting).
This film aligns with the expectations of its era-undeniably cheesy and significantly flawed. The attire, settings, and props are passable, with a fun model volcano adding amusement. While showcasing gorgeous ladies and entertaining girl fights, the creature is clearly a person in a costume. The animal fights were also bad, but some of the kills and stabbing scenes were solid.
In conclusion, Creatures the World Forgot stands as a below-average film, appealing primarily to fans of movies that are so bad they're good. I would rate it a 4/10 but still recommend it for those seeking some quirky entertainment.
