When rating a movie the first thing I always do is check out what year it was made and released and then try to keep things in perspective of similar films of that general time period. (I.O.T.) Star Creatures is a comedy first and a sci-fi flick second which may be disappointing to some who don't believe the two genres should be mixed, which as a general rule includes myself. However, if you are a big Stooges fan, you will notice many gags and some dialog lifted straight out of Moe, Larry and Curly's playbook. This movie basically warns the viewer up front that it is not to be taken seriously so with that it mind most fans of the 50s-60s sci-fi era should be able to sit through the entire film.Again if your a Stooges/Marx Brothers fan you will be on an Easter egg hunt from start to finish. Some nice out of this world eye candy helps to get things past the slow parts. Be forewarned that the low budget cheap and cheesy costumes and a rather silly plot make the film best served with beer.2 stars would be generous. Enjoy!

Invasion of the Star Creatures (1962) BOMB (out of 4) This sci-fi film is without question one of the worst ever made. Two soldiers, acting like Abbott and Costello, land in a cave where beautiful women try to take them hostage. This film clearly tries to rip off various sci-fi films from this era but it also goes a step further and tries to rip off various Abbott and Costello films. It's rather shocking no one tried to sue this film for those reasons but personally I'd put a lawsuit in just because of how bad this movie is. I love bad movies but this one here is beyond bad and never enters the "campy fun" nature of something by Ed Wood. The performances are horrid, the women boring and the jokes are worse than something a three year old could come up with. I'd still recommend people watch the film just to see how bad the monster is.

This is the worst brain damaged, ultra cheap, super stupid, silly, pointless piece of trash I've ever seen, an unbelievable garbage of instant cult status among fans of the bizarre. If you think that Ed Wood's "Plan 9" is bad, well... let me tell you, looks like "Citizen Kane" compared to that one. ¿Special effects?...again, "Plan 9" is "Star Wars". ¿Acting?...Thor Johnson is Al Pacino... so it's beyond bad, really. But if you are looking for that kind of incredible movies, it's for you! I'm a fan of American International for so many glorious horror movies, the Price-Corman-Poe saga and some great blaxploitation stuff, but with "Star Creatures" they descend right down to the Z level. Of course, my 1 out of 10 works in reverse if you like to watch bad movies for fun (the guy playing an Indian chief is great) so have fun and enjoy... if you can.

Let me start by saying that I understand that Invasion of the Star Creatures was meant to be a parody of the sci-fi films of the 50s. I understand that none of it is to be taken seriously. The problem I have is that none of it works. A parody should be funny and this one just isn't. Not once during the entire runtime did I so much as crack a smile. In general, I am easily entertained, but I couldn't find a sliver of entertainment anywhere in Invasion of the Star Creatures.I knew I was in trouble right from the beginning. The two "stars" make their screen appearance with one of the lamest gags imaginable - a water hose they can't control that gets them both wet. These two come off as Bowery Boys wannabes. Why anyone would want to mime the act and persona of the Bowery Boys is beyond me. After the less than illustrious beginning, the movies goes on to feature comical chase sequences, dancing Indians, vegetable men, decoder rings, and other assorted unfunny bits. It's all just a complete waste of time.I bought this on the double feature DVD with Invasion of the Bee Girls. That movie is Academy Award winning stuff in comparison with Invasion of the Star Creatures.
