Blu-ray Review – Trog

"Trog" is a film beloved by bad movie aficionados. The 1970 endeavor is notable for its use of an ape mask from "2001: A Space Odyssey" on the eponymous character, and the effort represents the last big screen appearance for actress Joan Crawford, completing a career with a role as a scientist trying to make some type of connection to a troglodyte. Despite its reputation as a classic howler, "Trog" isn't quite the campy festival of B-movie wonders its reputation suggests. It's not quality work, but director Freddie Francis certainly tries to keep the picture moving along with some speed, eventually turning a tale of a special discovery into a horror experience.
