Review of Trog

I have been watching Joan Crawford movies all month and I have finally come to TROG. This is not my first time at the rodeo, but I sure had a different perspective on it this time around. The same happened with Whatever Happened To Baby Jane. I found the characters quite tragic. Most of Joan's movies, starting with her Warner years don't really end on a happy note, and this movie sure fits the bill with poor Trog. It very much has a Planet of the Apes and Escape From TPOTA feel to the story with Trog trying to fit in with society. News flash-it doesn't work out to well. As for Joan Crawford, she played the star to the end as she walks off into the sunset. Imo I don't really think this movie is camp. It's quite bad but it's also quite good. If you are not looking for an Oscar-worthy movie but want to have a good time, watch Trog and watch some old Joan Crawford movies. Recommended.
