This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Others have said the same thing I'm going to. I've always been fascinated by horror films when even an old granny with a wooden leg could outrun the monster, she just stands there and he pulls her in. Going all the way back to the classic mummy films where the first thing people would do when seeing the cloth wrapped killer is to stop in there tracks. He could only move about one mile per hour. In this one, one of the most ridiculous monsters is able to get people to practically walk into its mouth (I think it's a mouth). Others have mentioned the dance hall scene (need I say more).

THE CREEPING TERROR is undoubtedly one of the worst movies ever made and one of the worst monster flicks in existence. It's a tiny-budgeted indie feature, shot in black and white, with every aspect of the movie disappointing from the acting to the writing. The story is as simple as townsfolk being killed by a bizarre creature while the sheriff department slowly investigates and eventually catches up with said creature at the climax. The film is badly edited and shoddy, making poor use of stock sound effects and library music throughout, compared to someone like George Romero who used them perfectly in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. As for the monster, it's been well-described as a pile of carpets, and I can't really embellish on that. It's only good for being laughed at.

This is bad cinema at it's absolute finest. I would recommend this film to anyone who likes comically bad movies and to the average person as well. Within, the first 10 minutes of this film, you will see stock footage of a rocket-launch played in reverse used as an alien spacecraft landing, complete with the REWIND-LINE! The monster itself is laughable, it's not quite as stupid-looking as the one in "Robot Monster" but it's pretty close. You will easily be able to distinguish the people under the monster-suit and even their shoes throughout the movie. Probably the best moment for the monster is when it invades a jazz concert and "absorbs" everybody. I won't ruin that for you though. Seriously, this movie is so bad that it's mind-boggling and entertaining to boot. It is a particularly great watch if you are up really late in the night and don't have to worry about waking anybody up with laughter. I cannot give a Z-Movie a 10 but this kind of movie is why there are B-movie fans like me out there. Don't expect to learn anything but if you watch this you will probably have a pretty good laugh in the process.

There's no denying it: this is indeed a terrible, terrible movie. Director / star Vic Savage blunders his way through this hall of infamy turkey in memorable fashion. It moves just as slowly as its title monster, and when I say slowly, I mean that the Mummy could easily overtake this thing. And since the monster - with its oddly suggestive looking mouth - can't do much of anything on its own, its nubile young victims pretty much have to willingly climb inside the thing! It arrives on Earth in a crashed saucer, and the local authorities - including a young, newlywed deputy (Savage himself) - bumble and fumble along while always remaining way behind our lethargic creature. Even at 77 minutes long, the viewer can REALLY feel the padding on this silly, silly production - for example, it's a '60s movie, so there's gotta be some dancing. The music score, mostly consisting of an organ, may well bring tears to the audiences' eyes, it's that bad. The acting? Just as abysmal as one could expect. In any event, it must be said that the stories of the making of "The Creeping Terror" are more interesting than the movie itself! Viewers can hardly fail to notice that most of the soundtrack consists of narration - ridiculous, priceless narration. Stories conflict - either the audio to the movie was lost or it was never properly recorded in the first place - so alternate takes were used. Cast members apparently had to buy their way into the movie, to help fund it! And, supposedly, a better looking monster had been built but stolen, so the filmmakers were forced to improvise something new. That's not to leave out the fact that Savage, by some accounts, was a pretty sleazy character. Admittedly, this may be nothing but garbage if you look at it objectively, but still, if you do have a soft spot in your heart but such cinematic abominations, it does have a certain Bad Movie Charm going for it. It would be impossible not to laugh at it at least some of the time. Five out of 10.
