Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Scott LeBrun It's the not so distant "future" (1998, to be exact) and Earth has been decimated by nuclear wars. What's left is a barren wasteland, not that we ever get to see it. A small team of Army deserters (three men, two women) come across a scientific installation where your standard issue strange experiments have been going on. In this case, they revolved around creating those amino acids that the human body can't create on its own. The result is a monster that makes mincemeat of these dumb chumps in record time.One can't help but laugh at micro budget drek such as "Creepozoids", which is good, because otherwise, we wouldn't really get much entertainment value out of it. Everything about it is primitive, including the makeup and creature effects. Co-writer / co-producer / director David DeCoteau pays as much tribute to "Alien" as he can, but the gaps between the two films are hilariously obvious at every turn. There's zero suspense, very little action, a redundant finale, the requisite sex and nudity (it *does* star Linnea Quigley, after all), a delicious and catchy cheese ball electronic score by Guy Moon, and amusing performances.Linnea is lovely and appealing, as she always is. Ken Abraham ("Hobgoblins"), Michael Aranda, Richard L. Hawkins ("Close Encounters of the Third Kind"), and extremely prolific adult film actress Ashlyn Gere co-star.The ending is particularly bad, but it adds to the appeal of this hunk of junk.Five out of 10.
Woodyanders 1998. World War III has reduced the planet into a dangerous wasteland complete with acid rain. Five army deserters seek refuge in an abandoned laboratory complex. Naturally, the place turns out to be the stalking grounds for both lethal mutated rats and a huge'n'savage subhuman beast. Man, does this wonderfully wretched junk possess all the right stuff to qualify as a real four-star stinkeroonie: The ham-fisted (non)direction by David DeCouteau (who also co-wrote the dire and hopelessly derivative script with Buford Hauser), the lousy acting, the tacky gore (one guy pukes what looks like motor oil in a mess hall scene that's directly lifted from ALIEN), the endless shots of folks running up and down corridors, the glaring lapses in logic (a post-nuke world which still has functioning computers and showers with clean water in it!), and a seriously lame "it ain't over yet!" final freeze frame all provide a wealth of unintentional belly laughs. Moreover, the cut-rate (far from) special effects are a complete cheesy riot: The hilariously hokey and unconvincing over-sized stuffed rats, some poor schmoe in an obvious rubbery monster suit, and a hysterically pathetic mutant puppet baby are all sidesplitting sorry sights to behold. Richard L. Hawkins as inept squad leader Jake makes for a laughably wimpy and ineffectual would-be hero. As a yummy plus, the ever-luscious Linnea Quigley once again bares her beautifully bountiful breasts and takes a steamy shower. Thomas L. Calloway's dingy cinematography and Guy Moon's redundantly bouncy score are both perfectly putrid. A real cruddy hoot and a half.
chris-w-king Does the film have gore. Some. Does it have nudity? well it has Linna Quigley. Does the film have long unnecessary dialogue with little happening for the opening 20 mins? Hell yes! Creepozoids appeared more mediocre than i'd hoped. Iwas wrong. It turned out to be highly entertaining, just not really a gem either.So if you choose to watch this what do you get? A group of quite uninteresting characters haul up in a containment facility. The nerd starts thinking this is not a great place to hide and salvage. He climbs through a little vent under a computer desk and finally after 20 mins some alien stuff begins. after an attack he returns acting normal, till like alien he completely ruins supper time by exploding blood and having some serious mangled hand problems. They decide its not the cuisine they ate but that vent so in they venture... From here its zombie crew-mates that dribble blood, with an alien guy in a rubber suit attacks, A killer baby and giant rodents?!? The alien is quite a cool suit, and the rodents provide necessary amusement as do their toy bodies being shot, stamped on etc. I couldn't help but think if they left that vent alone, all would have been fine.The film is quite pacey after the opening 20 mins, so skip that and watch a 50 min short. you'll figure out who's who soon enough. Then they die anyway
ThrownMuse Five young people desert the military during the apocalypse of WWIII and seek shelter in an abandoned research facility. Unfortunately, it is inhabited by giant rats and a...um...Creepozoid, I guess. This movie has approximately three main sets: The bedroom (and the nearby shower for the obligatory Linnea nude scene) where the characters hide when they are scared, the lair of the Creepozoid, and the hallway joining the two. In fact, most of this movie takes place with the characters running in the hallway, between the other two sets. There isn't much else to say about this. Oh yeah, the cast is cute, especially the lead. Unfortunately, he can't act and I reckon he slept with DeCoteau to get the role. Good for both of them. Gets an extra point for having a mutant baby in it for no ostensible reason.
