Creatures the World Forgot

SEE prehistoric love rites! SEE primitive chieftains duel in naked fury! SEE the young lovers sacrificed! SEE staked girl menaced by giant python!Following the enormous success of One Million Years B.C. in 1965, Hammer embarked on a series of prehistoric adventures over the next five years, concluding with Creatures the World Forgot. Directed by Don Chaffey – previously responsible for One Million Years B.C., not to mention the Ray Harryhausen classic Jason and the Argonauts – the film swapped dinosaurs for more adult content, starred former Miss Norway and ex-Bond girl Julie Ege (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service), and earned itself an ‘X’ certificate in the process. Even today, it still rates an ‘18’ from the BBFC!INDICATOR STANDARD EDITION BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURESHigh Definition remasterOriginal mono audioAudio commentary with filmmaker Sean Hogan and author and critic Kim Newman (2022)Hammer’s Women: Julie Ege (2022, 7 mins): profile of the Norwegian model and actor by academic Rachel KnightleySigns of Change (2022, 25 mins): Jonathan Rigby, author of English Gothic: A Century of Horror Cinema 1897–2015 revisits Hammer’s classic adventure filmPrimitive Rites (2022, 26 mins): appreciation of Mario Nascimbene’s score by David Huckvale, author of Hammer Film Scores and the Musical Avant-GardeOriginal theatrical trailerTV spotRadio spotImage galleries: promotional and publicity materialThree Children’s Film Foundation productions directed by Don Chaffey: Skid Kids (1953, 49 mins): story about a group of young cyclists; A Good Pull-Up (1953, 18 mins): Dickie Duffle, played by Peter Butterworth, gets himself into trouble at a workers’ café; Watch Out!
