The Beast from the Beginning of Time (1965)

Two archaeologists - "Dr. Crawford" (Ralph Seeley) and his pal "Maury" (Dick Welsbacher) are out in the tundra when they discover the remains of a neanderthal man. Clad only in a loin cloth, he is removed for further investigation. Thing is, as he thaws out he begins to wake up - and with one hell of an hangover. He is not an happy chap, and is soon on the rampage - a particularly dangerous state of affairs for "Elyse" (Suzanne Farrar) for whom he is out to prove that morning horn is not just a modern day thing! This might have been more fun had it been left as a lightweight sci-fi/horror adventure film. Sadly, though, it is dreadfully over scripted with loads of technical and scientific babble from the boffins whose presence is completely superfluous to the silly and occasionally exciting nature of the storyline. Essentially, this is just like a mummy movie - only it's a cave-man who wants the gal this time. The acting is pretty terrible (especially Farrar) and the visual effects do little to add any sense of peril to this cheap and cheerful nonsense. Darwinian in isn't. Good it isn't, either.
