The latest edition of "Son of Hammerland" is more like "Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather of Hammerland"!

Ian and Aaron slap on their mammoth furs and travel back in time to One Million Years B.C.! Raquel Welch and John Richardson star as cave people navigating a treacherous prehistoric land full of gargantuan monsters, warring tribes, and familial intrigue!

This is a very different kind of monster movie than the guys have tackled in this series--and one of the best. This was Ian's first full experience with the work of special effects guru Ray Harryhausen, whose innovative stop-motion creature work is served by a surprisingly compelling story that tramples modern dinosaur blockbusters!
