A strange and compelling film about prehistoric man, filmed nearly entirely without dialogue.
It's so lacking in any of the traditional elements that would normally make a film a commercial success that you have to admire its chutzpah if you admire nothing else about it.
Fortunately, it's also excellently made, and feels incredibly authentic, thanks to expert camera-work and production design, and quite amazing makeup effects.
The only recognizable actor in the film is Rae-Dawn Chong, but under all that makeup, even she's hard to spot (just look for the woman).
Grade: A-
