Too much of everything
Masterful Movie
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Creep Van is pretty fun, if a little thrown together. The acting is acceptable and the gore and effects work for the most part, and there is actually a lot of character work that goes into the lead to make you at least slightly care about what is going on in his story.Where the film falls down is its lack of focus. Lots of scenes feel stitched together and the whole thing could have brobably been neatened up a whole lot. Plus there is never really any clear motivation for the antagonist at any point, and this isn't one of those 'less is more' situations. Even if it is schlocky, a 'tragic accident/prank gone wrong' origin might have added some depth here.Overall this is a pretty fun low budget gore flick, with some humour and nudity thrown in for good measure. Any fans of the genre won't be disappointed, although it definitely could have done with a tighter script and less one-way phone conversation acting, seriously, it was a lot.
View MoreOne of those straight to video movies that you decide to give a chance and then wonder why you did. I like the way the main character is stuck in this dead end job but is trying to make the most of it with attempting to pick up the attractive young lady working at the same place and trying to enquire about the van for sale. The Creep Van - The same van that kills its first two occupants in glorious fashion - and then of course the film makers seem to run out of cash as very little happens of any merit after that. An OK film if you find you can relate to the main guy but the ending will lead you back to that wonder, the wonder why you bothered and to that point, why the filmmakers bothered also.
View MoreI'm betting everyone involved with this flick worked for free, because this creep van was filled with crap! The movie was so ridiculously bad it was funny - but not in a funny this is a parody way either. The acting was horrendous - really awful. The plot was idiotic and the set-ups to show some T&A were laughable. The characters were so very unlikable and nothing made any sense whatsoever. The one and only redeeming value was the teeny plot twist at the end and that was ridiculous too. That little twist at the end earned it 1.5 stars because otherwise this wouldn't have even garnered a single star. It's just that bad.
View More"Creep Van" is a dark and twisted story that pits a guy trying to get his life back on track against a psychotic killer stalking him in a super modified creepy van. The film is directed by Scott. W. McKinlay and stars Brian Kolodziej, Amy Wehrell and Collin Bernsen. The story has Kolodziej playing a guy who moves in with his best friend after a harsh break up. He needs wheels and luckily for him there is an awesomely vintage "bad man" set roaming the neighborhood looking for buyers. Unfortunately it is just a mere lure to get potential victim, I mean buyers close enough to seal the real deal. This is the guy all our parents warned us about growing up! For me the film comes off a little more tongue-in-cheek corny than I would have liked to see with a film that is this bold and original. The acting is just a big cheesy which gives a strong comedic vibe but not so much that it sucks. You just get a too obvious since that everyone around this project knows how B-movie this thing is which takes away from the darkness too much. It really is a horror comedy minus tack sound effects. For me that is the only thing that doesn't quite fit with this film. "Creep Van" has some awesome and gory kill scenes and when it comes to psychos 'The Creep' in this movie is as brutal and unrelenting as any. It is the saving grace of the whole film. This movie is an obvious homage to early 80's films that blend "Madman" like atmosphere and horror with the truly twisted humor of "Maniac Cop". I wouldn't say that this movie is "scary as hell" but it is an enjoyable film that brings the blood. There is enough going right for "Creep Van" to warrant seeing. This is something that is against a lot of reviews I have seen online about the film that consider the movie crap. Yeah there are some crappy things happening here but taken on it's entirety this film manages to entertain and ride that cult classic gory feel from start to end.
