I haven't seen this movie in years. Would it have benefited from
another director NOT sticking the camera where Clark had it? Otherwise
it's a very unpleasant story of very unpleasent children (and one young

Teenage Cavemen never shows up on anything I subscribe to any more.

It's body heat! It's film noir! There is no other motivation! I love
this movie.
