The People That Time Forgot (1977)

 

Another Fun Adventure

 

 The People That Time Forgot is the direct sequel to The Land That Time Forgot, released in 1977—just a couple years after the original—and it dives right back into the wild prehistoric chaos you just came out of… but with some fresh twists.

Here’s the vibe, no spoilers:

    It picks up the story with a rescue mission—different perspective, new main characters, but deeply tied to the events of the first film. So you’re not just dropped in cold; you’ve got some emotional investment if you just watched the first one. Smart move watching them back to back.

    The tone shifts a bit—it leans more into action-adventure territory, almost like a fantasy war movie meets dinosaur jungle expedition. There’s still that classic B-movie charm, but this one feels slightly more pulpy, like it knows it’s swinging for fun and not just survival.

    New faces, familiar danger—the cast is mostly different, but don’t worry, the core spirit is still there: stubborn explorers, hostile terrain, ancient creatures, and just enough mystery to keep the pace moving. You’ll get some strong '70s British adventure vibes throughout.

    Visually, it keeps that handmade look. Models, matte paintings, rubber-suited warriors—and somehow it all works. It’s part of the charm. The effects aren’t meant to fool you—they’re meant to entertain you.

It’s the kind of film that knows what it is: a follow-up thrill ride for fans of dinosaurs, lost civilizations, and men in fur boots wielding swords. If Land was about surviving the unknown, People is about facing it head-on with a little more firepower.

Have fun with it—it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and neither should you. Let the lava fly and the prehistoric drama roll!

8/10
