Amateurish actors walk around the desert, take snapshots, wear plaid shirts and rolled-up dungarees, play the harmonica, eat sandwiches, and dig up rocks in this nearly battle-free film. The teenagers in question completely ignore their blocking, point at petroglyphs, and someone every once in a while shouts, "Hey, what's this?!?"...and you hope it's a monster...or a monster devouring a teenager; but it's only another rock. Suddenly, something happens! It's not very interesting. The monster appears once during the credits, and again around the 38 minute mark, and meanwhile a pair of love-bird teens remark how they don't need a flashlight during a day-for-night shot. This film resembles a home movie of someone who pretends to be an archaeologist but doesn't know anything about history, science, or archaeology and the participants dig in the ground for 58 minutes and occasionally say, "Look, a rock!". Out of boredom, I accidentally ate an entire bag of Pepperidge Farms Milanos during the movie. I don't feel bad about the cookies, but I regret watching this film. I watched Teenagers Battle The Thing on Youtube. There doesn't seem to be a trailer, but I'll include the film here because it appears to be in the public domain.
