Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
hellholehorror This film has it all - there is an apocalypse, an evil alien, giant killer rats, a warehouse and I cannot keep this farce up forever as this movie is truly terrible. It reminded me of Rats: Night of Terror (1984) but is not quite as bad. It is mercifully short. The ending was the most tedious bit with a bloke in one room for like twenty minutes fighting the alien for a few seconds, losing it, looking for it, fighting it again and so on. Then he finally kills the monster however a mutant baby comes along and the whole fight, lose, look, fight thing starts all over again. This is utterly terrible and is only watchable because it is really short.
Paul Magne Haakonsen This 1987 horror Sci-Fi movie was somewhat of a dud. Well, given the synopsis and the lack of any famous actors is a clear indicator that you are in for a low budget Sci-Fi ride. And oh boy, were you in for exactly that at the hands of director David DeCoteau.The entire movie just reeked of low budget and suffered from having a poor script. First of all the setting of the movie just didn't pass for what it was intended to do. So the world was in disarray and acidic rains shower the surface. Right, well it just didn't come off as being believable.The creature was actually adequate, albeit not impressive, mind you. It worked well enough for what it was intended to do. Just don't expect to see anything overly impressive. But I am sure that back in 1987 that the creature effects here was quite good.What was a cumbersome anchor around the ankles of the movie was the acting performances put on by the cast. Most of these people seemed like they weren't even trying. And I can't claim to be familiar with a single face or name on the cast list.I was especially impressed with the bowl of fresh fruit that was on the table in one of the scenes. Wouldn't that require a hospitable environment in order to grow fruit? And I am sure that acid rain doesn't qualify for a hospitable environment."Creepozoids" came crawling in without any attention to itself, and it left the exact same way. This was a very poor horror Sci-Fi experience. I have seen it now in 2016, and I will never see it again.
Claudio Carvalho In 1990, during the World War III, five deserters of the army escape to an abandoned research facility, supplied with water and provisions. They decide to temporarily lodge in the place, and find that scientists were researching amino acids to reduce the need of food. But sooner they find that the place is inhabited by fierce and giant rats, a monster and a mutant baby. They are attacked and fight to survive.The most difficult summary that I have written in IMDb is this one, since "Creepzoids" does not have a reasonable story. I first believed that Creepozoid was the monster, but then I realized that there is only one, and the title is plural. So I deduced that Creepozoids are the giant rats, but I am not sure. Ed Wood is probably shaking in his grave with the competition of the awful David DeCoteau. The cast is terrible, but fortunately it seems that Richard L. Hawkins (the worst) quit the career. He could be successful in running, since the cast was very well-trained spending the whole movie running in a corridor. The best scene of the movie is the sexy Linnea Quigley showering; the rest is absolutely forgettable. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Creepozoids"
Tikkin There's not a lot you can say about Creepozoids, it's really just a rip-off of Alien with an extremely trashy feel. The lighting is poor and the pace is a little slow. However there's some mildly amusing scenes scattered throughout, mostly towards the end when you get to see the monster and the "baby". The monster effects are actually quite decent considering the obvious low budget. I laughed a few times, especially when the guy throws the baby off himself, and also when the monster is apparently holding him up in the air - it's obvious that he's attached to a harness from the ceiling. There's also a few funny scenes involving giant "rats" that look like puppets. Oh, and one of the girls bares her breasts. Creepozoids isn't a total waste of time, but it's not something you'll want to go out of your way to find either.
