Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
gavin6942 In the back country of Louisiana, a group of friends unearth a terrible secret that unleashes a monster from the depths of the swamp.We can now look back on this and say it was one of the worst-grossing films of all time. Perhaps that is something of an honor. To be fair, it really is not as bad as you might think based on how it did in theaters. How did it bomb? What went wrong? That is hard to say.One thing I do know is that the creators love Sid Haig, because he is prominently on display in the poster despite being a relatively minor character. And although he plays basically the Southern version of Captain Spaulding, they threw a "Spider Baby" reference in there, too. So that was nice.While I am sad that the people behind this seemed to be inspired -- at least a little -- by "House of 1000 Corpses", it makes me feel better knowing they also had a very strong "Hatchet" vibe going on. While this is nowhere near as good as Adam Green's film, they seem to have been going for the same story... without ripping it off.
BA_Harrison Six 'kids' on a road-trip to New Orleans stop off at a tourist trap to check out the local legend of Lockjaw, a half-swamp-man/half-alligator that supposedly lives in the bayou...I've absolutely no problem with cookie-cutter horror films wherein dumb youngsters seem to go out of their way to be torn limb from limb; on the contrary, I positively encourage them, just so long as they don't skimp on the graphic violence and gratuitous nudity. Creature, a by-the-numbers monster film from first time director Fred Andrews, begins in the right spirit, delivering in both departments with full frontal nudity from a young woman who gets her legs chewed off when she takes a naked dip in a swamp.The bare flesh continues with the introduction of the three uninhibited girls—Emily, Beth and Karen (Serinda Swan, Amanda Fuller and Lauren Schneider), all of whom strip off to some degree during the film, but the gore proves frustratingly tame, the majority of the nastiness occurring just out of frame. Add the fact that the film's monster is a laughably bad man-in-a-rubber suit creation, and it soon becomes apparent that Creature is one of the genre's weaker efforts.Sid Haig does his best to inject some fun into proceedings with a deranged performance that is essentially Captain Spaulding without the clown make-up, and the plot is given some much needed pep with the introduction of some lesbian shenanigans and a touch of incest (Karen giving her brother a hand with his photography being surprisingly perverted), but the lack of decent splatter, the weak monster, and a very silly ending make this far from essential viewing.4.5 out of 10, rounded up to 5 for IMDb.
Ben Larson This movie opens with a bang! The action keeps coming as it is just a short time until Lauren Schneider gives Sid Haig (Devil's Rejects, House of 1000 Corpses) - and us - an eyeful.Mehcad Brooks (Eggs from True Blood) is one tough mofo, and if anyone can survive and save his girl (Serinda Swan), it will be him. He manages to keep his head, while all others are losing theirs. Of course, I do not know how he has an unbroken bone in his body!A little girl on girl action (very little), and some brotherly love.Poor Beth (Amanda Fuller).
rbrown7770 Wow! This is amazing, an actual movie that has teeth and not a pathetic love sick movie. It seems that there are only a few who can truly master a scary "monster" movie. I have seen numerous movies over the years such as "Humanoids from the Deep", "Terror Within", and "The Beast" that have the right combination of materials for a horror movie. There are a few want to be movies out there that I would call "a flop or a joke". This is not one of them. If you are the type of person who enjoys the movie for what it has to show you. Prepare to be entertained. For your time, money, and understanding of a horror movie you will not be disappointed.
