TRASH OR TREASURE? Resurrecting “The Worst Films of All Time”.
Anthropologist Dr. Brockton (Joan Crawford) unearths a troglodyte ā an Ice Age āmissing linkā, half-caveman, half-ape ā and attempts to domesticate him until he’s let loose by an irate land developer (Michael Gough) and goes on the rampage.
TROG is a British science fiction film produced by Herman Cohen (I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN) and the last film from legendary screen actor, Joan Crawford. Crawfordās problematic personal life ā including alcoholism and an acrimonious relationship with her children ā would give rise to another of the āworst films of all timeā, the deranged biopic starring Faye Dunaway, MOMMIE DEAREST (which features prominently in Son Of Golden Turkey Awardsā¦).
TROG was listed in The Golden Turkey Awards A-Z, a compendium of āthe worst films of all timeā nominated by the general public (receiving 15+ votes from roughly 3,000 ballotsā¦). But how bad is itā¦? Join Token Homo and help him decide with our new ātrash or treasureā polling cards.
BAR TRASH films are served with themed drinks, introductions, intermissions, prize giveaways and subtitles (where possible!). Tickets from Ā£3. BOOKING NOW!
