The greatest movie ever made..!
Sadly Over-hyped
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
View MoreThis is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
View MoreThis is a monster movie about shipwreck survivors attacked by little goofy monsters.It is a complete throwback to the 1970s Hitler idealism decade, when only the blondest woman and the darkest man are allowed to survive, whether by Nature or God, doesn't matter, so long as the survivors are only Hitler and Eva.You can tell that's what this is early on, as everything is contrived for the cliché.I can forgive the low budget, stupid looking creatures. That's no big deal, and maybe even the horrid acting, but not the terrible script, and definitely not the stereotypical Hitler idealism. I've known many brunettes who have been killed, and there is no doubt that sick movies like this inspired people to believe that it was okay. The makers of sick movies like this are as much to blame as the evil they purposely cause.IMDb has a history of Hitler idealists, so this goes over well with the many nazi IMDb posters, but not with guys. It is a boring, dull world without brunettes for guys.There just isn't anything fun about this trash. One of the 100 worst movies ever made, on any list of any sane man who has seen it.
View MoreWhy 1920? Who said that would be a good Idea? Why does nothing about this movie make sense? Was this movie meant to be seen by humans? I have some more questions regarding Attack Of The Beast Creatures. But I'm certainly not holding out for any answers. I'm not sure what I was expecting from this one, but the type of peculiar offered here kind of caught me off guard. Now I've seen a lot of interesting/unique/obscure/terrible Z-grade cinema in my day. Hundreds, in fact, but something tells me this one's one of a kind. The ineptness of it all. The fakeness of those... things!! But really, what I find most peculiar about Attack Of The Beast Creatures is that I actually kinda loved it. We begin with the survivors of a sunken ship, who barely make it to an uncharted Island. This island appears to be quiet, and empty, so their only concern now is to quickly find water and nourishment, any water they manage to find turns out to be acid (the bad kind) and on top of that, this island isn't so empty after all. This Island is the home of hundreds of vicious, little fake-looking/flesh-eating creatures, who have recently discovered the walking buffet, who have unknowingly invaded their territory. That's right, Beast Creatures. Nothing, and I mean nothing about these damn things say "I'm a living being." Just a bunch of little dolls with red skin, and white eyes, that people behind the camera toss towards the cast, who unconvincingly pretend the things are biting them. despite being alive, the cast is even less convincing than the Beast Creatures. I don't know if they thought people had brain-damage in 1920, or these people were actually brain-damaged, in that case, I suppose we should be impressed, other than that, I don't know, there's just something a little "off" about everything in this one. Kinda like in Troll 2. If you haven't seen that one, see it!! nevermind the first one. Anyway, I only speak negatively of this the beast creatures because the negativity is more than obvious. It's all in good fun. The truth is, complete and utter cluelessness of Attack of the Beast Creatures intrigues me to no end. And it's hilarious. Yeah, I'm one of those people. Can't help it. As soon as I read about it, I knew it would be amazing. Lucky for me, I still have a VCR. How about a DVD release? Maybe with some Joe Bob Briggs audio commentary. I think that would be keen. If hearing of the awkward ineptness of this freak-of-nature doesn't scare you off, then you're probably feeling a little curious. If that be the case, go with it. Definitely worth the search, and the price. You won't be sorry... Well, maybe a little. 8/10
View MoreSurvivors of a shipwreck wash up on an island inhabited by tiny red men with sharp teeth and a taste for flesh. Fair enough this isn't going to be elbowing its way into the top 100 any time soon but it entertained me. I liked how the monsters were relentless and they looked quite creepy when they sprinted and when seen in the dark.I had more fun watching this than the last five movies I saw at the cinema and they had a collective budget of around $500 million so for a movie filmed on a shoestring budget with first time actors in the backwoods of Connecticut I think they did a pretty good job.The other reviewer, possibly a national geographic correspondent, correctly identifies that there are no islands with rivers of acid but for some reason I was able to look past that and just enjoy watching people fend off demented puppets. If you think you could do the same give it a go, it's a fun movie.
View MoreDespite what you may have read or heard, this silly low-budgeter is a great rental despite whatever shortcomings it has. However, you might have an impossible time trying to track down a tape because this has been out of circulation for years.Filmed in 1983, this concerns the struggle for survival among a small group of shipwreck survivors on a secluded island (really inland Fairfield, Connecticut, where this was filmed). A seemingly innocent water stream is actually full of acid as one poor parched man soon finds out, and worse, the island is home a cult of small, killer, TRILOGY OF TERROR-style dolls. The dolls have red faces, long black hair, glow-in-the-dark eyes and sharp pointy teeth. Their jaws open so they can screech and their arms move up and down when they scurry through the woods, but other than that, they are hilariously immobile.I don't want to get too much into the story, but some of the assault/ambush techniques devised by the little critters are very amusing and the low-level POV camera-work and eerie music score service the entertaining story very well. This film is a blast!Score: 6 out of 10
