This movie's title is my review of it.

After dwelling on the movie for far, far too long, I think the only reason this still has a shelf life is because it dogwhistles a multitude of far out sexual fetishes, and it's weird seeing them in context in far out 1962. I'm not even talking about Stockholm syndrome - more like I'm 93% certain the girl was forced to show the Cro Magnon the interior of her cave as his mummified ancestors looked on and her Dad egged her on and watche—Eegah! yeah I just threw up.

The fact that there were at least two Arch Hall's in this world, and movie, makes me sad.

Call the police. "Police! Police!" -- But seriously, for it's time this isn't a terrible b-movie. There are a lot of other boring movies from this era that make this look like gold. Damn! That Arch Hall kid is annoying as hell, though!

I needed a week-long hiatus to let this movie sink in. It's that good. And thanks to MST3K for the apt descriptor for our hero, "Cabbage Patch Elvis".

Another MSTK classic. In this one you get to wince through the dynamic between auteur Arch Hall Sr. and his very unattractive son Arch Hall Jr. (here portraying a dreamboat musician). Presumably the horrifying caveman-with-fake-beard played by Richard Kiel is supposed to make Arch Jr. look attractive by comparison. King Kong Lite, with lotsa laffs.

This micro-budgeted wonder richly deserves its reputation as a genuine laughingstock in the monster-on-the-loose genre. Acted with cue-card precision by a god-awful cast (the singing hero, son of the producer-director, looks about 14 years old) and burdened with several endless musical numbers, this one has to be seen to be believed. And even then...

Compared to other cavemen in modern times movies (which are few and far between) this ain't half bad in concept. Its execution however is something entirely different. Terrible off key honky rockabilly abounds with piss poor editing and dubbing. If you want someone to be ashamed of being white, have them watch Eegah! I'm going to go wash myself with tar pitch.

Not as bad as people make it out to be, very silly but a very watchable beach party monster caveman movie.

Apparently seeing someone 7 feet tall in the early 60s was the most unbelievable thing in the world.

The MST3K episode of this is pretty funny, though. Archie Hall Jr. manages to be a 1960s Paul Walker: bland white guy hero. Poor Richard Kiel deserved better.

Really kinda silly, but I guess Richard Kiel got a paycheck. Guy that big's gotta take a lot to feed.

The character played by Arch Hall Jr. in this film is by far the most useless character of all time. He spends half the time walking around in the desert and half the time singing very, very bad songs and sporting the worst hairdo you'll ever see. And the rest of the movie isn't much better. Avoid this one.

Ok, the summary says that eegah was terrorizing Palm Springs. I'm pretty sure eegah never did anything threatening to anyone. He was just trying to hang out with this girl. I thought he was actually a good guy most the time. long, boring, and a stupid ending.

Poor Richard Kiel. He had lots of memeorable characters from Cannonball Run II to Happy Gilmore, but the onlt thing memeorable about this was how bad everyone was. Absolutely boring and the lead actor's lip synching and music were annoying at best. After watching this I wept, cuz the time I spent watching this, I could've watched an ice cube melt and felt my time doing that was worth more.

"Eegah" doesn't top my list of worst movies. While it's not stellar, it carries a certain rhythm and a hint of charm. The monster is more misunderstood than malicious, driven by loneliness and yearning. Interestingly, he's so isolated that he converses with mummified relatives. This 60's B film delivers on its low-budget promise: questionable casting and an amusing story. It is just what one would anticipate with this type of movie.
