I watched a video called 'The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made', and it listed 'Eegah' as being the second worst film ever made, losing to 'The Incredibly Strange Creatures That Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies' and even beating 'Plan 9 From Outer Space'. I assumed that 'Eegah' would be entertainingly bad like 'Plan 9'. I have since learned my lesson about assumptions. 'Eegah' was boring and a pain to sit through.
While driving through the desert, Roxy Miller (Marilyn Manning) comes across Eegah (Richard Kiel) a pre-historic giant. Eegah runs away when Roxy's boyfriend Tom (Arch Hall Jr) turns up. Tom has the distinctive face of a villain, and is in love with his dune buggy. In fact, he makes a point of mentioning his dune buggy at any possible opportunity when his dune buggy is not on screen. Roxy's father Robert (Arch Hall Sr), being a man of science, goes out to search for Eegah. When Robert doesn't return, Roxy and Tom take the dune buggy to search for him, but end up in the hands of Eegah.
'Eegah' takes the plot formula of 'King Kong' (pre-historic creature found, creatures falls in love with girl, creature ends up in city, RAMPAGE!) and ventures into the territory of terrible films that are likely to cause to brain damage. 'Robot Monster' was fun for longer than this was, and it half an hour shorter! It should be fun, but it was generally boring and even quite annoying at times. Those times being whenever Arch Hall Jr or his dune-buggy were on screen.
'Eegah' is terrible, and no fun. The end - 1/10
