Teenage Cave Man is a 1958 science fiction film directed by Roger Corman. It was shot as Prehistoric World, but was changed by American International Pictures to its final title (in the UK it was known as Out of the Darkness). Years later in an interview, Corman stated "I never directed a film called Teenage Caveman". Lead actor Robert Vaughn has stated in an interview that he considered it to be the worst film ever made. The film was later featured on the television series Mystery Science Theater 3000.
The story revolves around a tribe of primitives in a barren wasteland who struggle to survive, despite a lush environment just on the other side of a nearby river; they refuse to cross the river because of an ancient tale which warns of a god lurking on the other side, who brings death with a touch. A young man defies tribal laws and searches for answers. The result of his quest yields knowledge of past generations.

Ahhhhh! Another wonderful piece of cinematic history! Thank you! How have I ever lived this long without ever seeing this movie? How big will my Roger Corman collection get?
I guess that depends on how many of these little gems I run into! LOL -------------- R
