Good concept, poorly executed.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Welcome to the post-apocalypse!!! Rival factions are waging chemical warfare on each other, and it has led to the creation of a deadly acid rain, which has either wiped out or mutated most of the world's population.We find ourselves following a group of adolescents, as they seek shelter from an approaching storm.They end up finding some sort of old science facility, which has been abandoned and fallen into disuse. So, they figure it's as good a place as any to hold out until the war ends and fallout passes.However, it might not be as empty as it seems...something is lurking in the shadows...and it's taking them out one-by-one...I guess that something is a Creepozoid (though, you'd only know from the title)...and given that, I'm still not entirely sure what a Creepozoid is...Though, from what I gather, it's some sort of chemically and/or genetically altered Alien-like mutant, that contains a cannibalistic baby inside it's skull- from which it is born, upon it's death. But it could also include giant man-eating rats and "infected" superhumans, whom die if they eat real food. I couldn't tell if the term was broad or specific.There is a lot of barely explicable sh*t going on in this film. So much, in fact, that i can't believe I actually managed to follow what was going on. They really leave the viewer to read into all the subtle details.The acting is pretty bad too. But the special effects are pretty rad. The baby and the monster are particularly badass. The baby totally reminds me of the zombaby from Dead Alive. And, all criticisms aside, the whole thing has a sort of Evil Dead vibe going for it...which is definitely the best part. However, for me, this one kind of straddles the border between being one of those it's-so-bad-it's-good films, and just being bad. It's about on par with something like The Boogens (ie cool monsters, but kind of sh*t in every other department), if that gives you any bearings.5 out of 10.

Creepozoids (1987)** (out of 4) In the distant future (year 1998), a group of survivors find an abandoned building as they are trying to find safety. You see, the world was pretty much destroyed by monstrous creatures and this group just wants to live in peace but soon they realize that they're not alone. Director David DeCoteau has made over a hundred movies in his career but this one here stands out for several reasons. One is that it was his first film shot on 35mm and another reason is that it features Linnea Quigley in the shower. CREEPOZOIDS is often called one of the worst films of the decade but I think those comments are rather harsh when you consider this was shot in just 15-days with a $150,000 budget. The film isn't like most of its type as this here at least tries to do something big. I say that because usually these types of films just feature people walking around and getting killed one-by-one but off camera. People are constantly walking around here and getting killed but thankfully the film went the extra mile to come up with a monster and several gory scenes. The monster is obviously fake but this doesn't take away from the entertainment as he's constantly going after people. The end results includes all sorts of blood effects but also plenty of goo being thrown around. The death scenes aren't all that memorable but at least they're fun and just wait until you see the exploding eye. Even these effects aren't the greatest but they're at least fun and that's good enough. At just 68-minutes (without the end credits) the film really does feel like the type of "B" picture from the 1950s. The only difference is the gore and nudity. Fans of Quigley will enjoy her sequence in the shower and there's no question that she's quite charming here delivering some pretty bad lines. Most people aren't going to want to watch a low-budget film like this but if you enjoy campy "B" movies then there's plenty to enjoy here.

In the near future, a group of Army deserters take shelter in an abandoned building to hide from acid rain and the two world superpowers remaining (presumably the United States and Russia, though I do not recall the film being specific). What is locked inside the building, however, may be even more deadly than the war raging on outside."Creepozoids" is probably one of the most under-rated films of the late 1980s. While it is true that the plot is a bit thin, the acting average and the special effects not overly stunning, it doesn't deserve the low rating it tends to receive. IMDb, for example, gives this film a paltry 2.2 -- yet, I can say with confidence I've seen countless 5/10 films that were far worse and much less entertaining. This film has a certain B-movie fun factor to it that really provides a lot of charm.What will probably draw most people to this film is the appearance of Linnea Quigley. And if you're looking for more of her clothes-free scream queening (if "Return of the Living Dead" isn't enough), this film will be right up your alley -- even in a world with contaminated water and rodents of unusual size, Linnea finds the time to have a steamy, sexy shower scene.The Guy Moon score is cheesy but effective. The effects department... that's a bit odd. We have an alien in a rubber suit. Large rats that don't move at all unless a victim throws them. And a metal tunnel that is only filmed on two of the four sides, making it appear that the person crawling through it is merely low along the wall and not actually in a vent. If the budget was a concern, I think they saved a few dollars along the way.I really did enjoy the film, though. At a short 70 minutes, the pace is quick and leaves little time to lose interest. Some of the bad dialog can be excused, and despite the fact many people have called this film derivative of "Alien", I just don't see it. I saw much more in common with splatter-melt flicks such as "Street Trash" or "Demons". In this department, the effects were top-notch.I may be alone on this, but I'd love for Full Moon (or anyone) to release a special edition of this film, perhaps for its 25th anniversary in 2012. An audio commentary with the director and Linnea Quigley would be welcome, and if any outtakes, behind the scenes or cut shots exist, these might be of interest. I really found this to be a good example of an enjoyable film made on the cheap, far more fun and entertaining than bigger Full Moon flicks like "Puppet Master".

This is just another typically lousy and low-budgeted 80's crap movie in which mutant creatures kill and eat a bunch of characters you don't care about to begin with, anyway. The writers of this piece of junk apparently were a bit pessimistic about the near future, as the year is 1998 and the entire world is unlivable already! Due to constant nuclear warfare, acid rain falls from the sky and scientists messed up some dangerous experiments that resulted in super-intelligent monsters. In other words; welcome to the 80s, my friends! Anyway, five military deserters seek shelter in an abandoned lab and soon they face the monster as well giant fake rats. Wow, what a BAD movie! Despite being very short (about 70min.), "Creepozoids" still manages to be incredibly tedious and especially the monster baby battle at the end is way too long. The multiple attempts to make the film look like "Alien" are pathetic, the cheesy sequences with the rat couldn't be more random and the music as well as the dialogs are downright painful to listen to. I don't care if Linnea Quigley has hundred gratuitous shower scenes, this is just intolerable nonsense.
