The Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas. Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest. Few claim to have seen these links to our primitive past. But when a wild half-man/half-ape emerges from his countryside cave, TV cameras are there to observe the event -- and the terror! People call him Trog, short for a prehistoric cave dweller called a troglodyte. To an anthropologist (Joan Crawford in her final film), he's the scientific discovery of the age. To others, he's walking death. A grocer is impaled on a meat hook, a car is tossed aside like a twig, a child is kidnapped -- all after local resident Sam Murdock (Michael Gough) prods the brute into a blind rampage. In true horror tradition, the world's Murdocks leave no doubt who the real savages are -- and who is the part-man, part-monster, all Trog!
It would have been better if Joan Crawford played Trog.

Joe Cornelius, who played in such films as "The File of the Golden Goose" (Gordie) with Yul Brynner, was selected to upstage Joan Crawford as that multidimensional character (Trog), the troglodyte.
A volcano heats a frozen creature from the age of the dinosaurs. Why can they not let the poor creature alone? Can he learn to be civilized, or will we fall victim to his rage?
You have seen this story a million times. An innocent cave creature is tormented by a child let loose on it by a sadistic anthropologist. The poor creature must "play ball" or pay the consequences.
Can't wait for the sequel where they have Joe Cornelius Vs the Piltdown Man with William Shatner.
