Hilariously idiotic, unbelievably bad in every way. A trip into temporary insanity. Ridiculous monster, terrible production values, industrial-strength stupidity all around. The only way to watch this is too be stoned or something like it, so I won't say you shouldn't see it, just don't expect a worthwhile movie. The reward, if any, for suffering this flick is gut-busting laughter.
... View MoreThe PlotA newlywed sheriff tries to stop a shambling monster that has emerged from a spaceship to eat the citizens of an American town.From the worst acting ever to the monster who is essentially a guy wrapped in a carpet this has got to be the biggest hoot on earth.The space ship is a Mercury launch in reverse and then once it's on the ground it looks nothing like what you just saw AND the police say there was a plane crash! What????i thought i was watching a lost Ed Wood movie. It even has a voice over that explains the narrative for retards.Very early on there is a shot of the coolest car ever. Maybe it's a Morgan. It looks like it could be the Bat-mobile from the original serial in the 40s.The only bad thing about this film is that the director only made two movies so he couldn't get Ed Wood status. Had he lived longer he's be right up there.
... View MoreHoly crap what did I just sit through? A tour-de-crap from Vic Savage, who produced, directed, and starred in this travesty. The story (like it matters) is about a newlywed sheriff and his bride trying to stop a carpet monster from outer space. The entire thing is narrated like a badly-written book. The narrator describes the scenes as we're watching them! What the hell was with the obsession with marriage vs bachelorhood? Talk about someone working out their issues through their "art." I felt like I just listened to Vic Savage's therapy sessions. The movie's budget must have been whatever Savage found in his couch cushions. The monster literally looks like pieces of carpet mixed with the contents of a garbage can draped over some people crawling along at a snail's pace. The awful sound effects they use when it's growling or gurgling or whatever will make your ears bleed. It is terrible in a way that defies belief but there is something fascinating about it. I must have shook my head and said "this must be a joke" a dozen times while watching it. That anyone could try to pass this off as a movie boggles my mind. The entire production would have to improve by a million percent just to be considered amateur. I've seen more riveting home movies than this. Objectively, it's one of the worst movies of all time. The only thing redeeming about it is that it has some "so bad it's good" qualities. If you watch it with friends you can all make fun of it, which improves the viewing experience but doesn't change the fact that it's a really a shitty movie. I'm giving it a 2 solely for the giggles at its incompetence. I reserve 1's for movies that should be fed to carpet monsters.
... View MoreSPOILER: The main "Monster" in The Creeping Terror racks up a pretty impressive body count despite it's lack of speed.The "Monster" looks like it just walked off line from a Chinese New Year's parade and moves with all the speed of a lame turtle or a government worker getting paid by the hour. The only things in this movie that couldn't outrun the "Monster" are a rock and a tree. The only way a person could get caught by the "Monster" is if they ran into a tree or tripped over a rock and knocked themselves out.The only time I rooted for the "Monster" to show up was in the "Dance Hall" scene. If the darn thing could have moved faster, we wouldn't have to endure the mind-numbing music that seemed to have the same few notes looped over and over again as the girl in the skin-tight gold pants gyrated on.(Taken from my show RETERO MOVIE REVIEW on spreaker.com and iHeartRadio.
