Savage Creatures

First off, this movie starts slow. And it's more fun than serious.

Second, read the storyline. Or at least read the taglines. If you can handle all of those things, sometimes in detail, (especially cannibals) you're golden.

The depictions of the Holy roller style or ultra weird Christian religion is not favorable, the special effects are so-so to good, and it might benefit with a cut of the first ten to 20 minutes.

But this is an indy film. If you're forgiving, especially once you get into it, it's rather fun and irreverent and I really like the protagonists. The scenery is nice, the camerawork is good, and the idea strange, unusual, and amusing.

If you can get past the fact that this is a B movie with some disturbing characters, you'll love it. If not, move on.

This film was so bad it annoys me that i had to give it 1 star in order to write this.

There is not one thing about this film that i can have a positive spin put on it. Everything about it was so bad, from the directing, acting script, editing and story. In particular the acting , the two that played the vampires lol talk about cringe worthy. Then there are the special fx. I mean come on! In an age where the average person can create movie quality special fx on a home computer, this was just laughable.

All i can say is that i sincerely hope that all involved are never allowed anywhere near so much as a camera phone ever again.

Right, well I was lured in by the movie's cover/poster, as it seemed rather interesting and had this epic vampire thing going on. So of course I took the time to sit down and watch this 2020 movie titled "Savage Creatures", despite not having heard about it prior to getting the chance to watch it.

So I had no expectations as to what the movie should bring to the screen.

Was I entertained? Well, sort of, in a strange way. I mean, the storyline was just mundane, to be frank, but there was just something oddly enjoyable in the whole match-up of cannibalism, vampires, butt-kicking priests and nuns with guns, zombies and aliens that worked on a geeky level.

Sure, the zombies were fast and agile, something which I loathe, but it didn't really matter, because they weren't playing that big a part in the movie. The aliens, however, well they were definitely interesting in design, and I liked that. As for the vampires? Well, no, that didn't work - for starters they were walking around in broad daylight with full sunshine, and of course they were lesbian lovers - sure, why not? I enjoyed the cannibal part to the movie, especially because it was set up to be devout god-fearing Christians! That was just hilarious. As for the priest and the nun, well the priest was just a bit too much, but the gun-crazy nun was a nice touch to the movie.

This was a low budget movie, certainly, but the movie was made with a lot of heart and spirit, and it was definitely showing on the screen that people were enjoying making this and put their entire effort into it.

While "Savage Creatures" is not a massive block buster movie in any way, it was actually sort of an oddly enjoyable movie, if you like me, have watched an abundance of zombie movies, vampire movies, alien invasion movies and movies about cannibals living in the remote countryside. So there is a little bit of everyone in here.

The acting in the movie was actually adequate. And I do enjoy watching a movie with unfamiliar faces on the screen, as the actors and actresses thus aren't associated with previously portrayed characters and roles in other movies.

My rating of "Savage Creatures" actually lands on a six out of ten stars, given the production and effort in the movie. It wasn't the most of entertaining movies in terms of script and storyline, but everything else was just whacky enough to make up for that shortcoming.

The aliens are a bit pathetic, the acting mediocre and it was obviously a budget movie or student movie, but that said I watched it and was entertained. The plot was pretty crazy and the makeup overdone, but better than a lot of budget movies I have seen this year.

Garbage; it's set in nice scenery. That's positive!!
