"“I admit it: I have a soft spot in my heart (and my head) for the stupefying,
inexplicable 'Trog.'." -Commercial Appeal
TROG
Anthropologist Dr. Brockton (Joan Crawford) believes she has discovered
the missing link in this flat science fiction drama. The creature is found in a cave and
brought to her laboratory to undergo tests for her research. The hairy beast with the
face of a monkey loves classical music and hates rock & roll. When one of the slack-
jawed yokels opens his cage, he escapes and goes on a killing rampage as he tries
to return to his cave. In a gentle moment with a little girl, the beast shows a tender
side that recalls a scene from Frankenstein. Soon troops are called in, despite
Brockton's protest to entomb the creature by dynamiting the entrance to the cave.
