Cave Girls

About This Movie

Cave Girls is one of those curious little gems from the early 80s, shot entirely on super-8, which just gives it this raw, intimate vibe. The film dives into the discovery of a prehistoric tribe of women, set against the unlikely backdrop of South Orange, New Jersey. What stands out is the collaborative nature of the project, showcasing the perspectives of women artists, which adds a unique layer to the storytelling. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative at times, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere and the characters' interactions. And for a low-budget flick, the practical effects are surprisingly engaging, enhancing the overall charm. It’s not your typical adventure film, which is probably what makes it distinctive in the landscape of early 80s cinema.
