This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Others have covered the plot, the acting, and the music with some excellent reviews. Eegah is a film so awful - it sets new standards for bad. I only gave it one star because negative stars are not available. This film is so bad, you can almost feel it sucking your life force out of your body. It's so bad, you need a refund on the time wasted watching it. Hall's direction and acting is so bad - it makes Roger Corman look like a genius. Watching your squirrels in your yard is infinitely more entertaining. At least watching your squirrels won't suck your brains out of your eyeballs. As art: Eegah is so awful it makes Andy Warhol's "Empire" (1964) look like 'art.' It's hard to come up with anything positive to say about this film. The only way to make this film any worse would be to rotoscope Richard Kiel out of the film. That would certainly move it down from a 1 to a zero or even into the negative numbers.

Unlike other movies that have been on Mystery Science Theater 3000 I did not watch this movie through that, I instead watched this through the modern day Elvira show (I'll review that after this) so the movie centers around a caveman who is 7 foot tall and scares the crap out of Roxy, a supposed teen and has a boyfriend who likes performing music as a non-sequitur and considering this person is played by the director's son I would not be surprised if he had his own wannabe pop band that he wanted hits inserted into the movie so he could be what The Beatles were... it's all speculation but considering how not-relevant to the plot it is right down to Roxy having no problem with him singing songs about other girls it's pretty sound. So anyway they look for the caveman and find it and he has evidently survived all this time, untouched by civilization because "shut up it does" and takes a liking to Roxy. So they try and get away from it and the caveman tries getting to her apparently not taking "no" for an answer and gets killed once it goes back to civilization as we're supposed to feel sorry for it. This movie is not interesting - the plot is ridiculous, the acting is annoying and it could not be more evident of it's low budget and it gets per-occupied with shooting crap Arch Hall Jr music videos.

EEGAH is a widely celebrated B-movie, shot for fifteen thousand dollars in Palm Springs, California. It's so bad that it feels like ROBOT MONSTER, although not quite as kooky or entertaining as that movie. The storyline involves a family who come into contact with a random caveman (complete with club!) living in the mountain, and who are subsequently terrorised by him.This is bargain basement stuff throughout, with very poor production values and dubbed-in sound which sounds, well, fake. The film was written and directed by former western actor Arch Hall Sr. for his son, singing sensation Arch Hall Jr., who annoys the eardrums of the viewers with his repertoire.The caveman duties are handled by the towering Richard Kiel, later to find fame as the much-loved Jaws in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. Kiel wasn't much of an actor, especially in this film, but the other wooden stars are even worse. The story is so slim that it stalls halfway through with long, drawn-out scenes of characters sitting around, before picking up for the unintentionally funny climax complete with sonorous, KING KONG-style voice-over narration. It's a dud, but a fun dud, I suppose, if you're in a charitable mood.

Teenagers stumble across a prehistoric caveman, who goes on a rampage after his romantic advances are pooh-poohed.The only film directed by writer-actor Arch Hall Sr, which also happens to star his son, Arch Hall Jr (whose career seems to only exist because of his father's influence -- he never appeared in anything noteworthy). It remains a fun b-movie because of its casting of Richard Kiel, and because of the additional exposure from "Mystery Science Theater 3000".This is not a good film, but it is not a terrible film. A bit of editing here and there and it might actually be decent for what it is. Then again, maybe I am giving it too much credit. But how much can you ask of a caveman movie that had a total budget of $14,000?
