Following his sister's death, a man finds himself forced to team up with a pair of investigating detectives to find the culprit and soon realizes it's a revenge rampage by a scientist she used to work for killing off an old team she was a part of with the help of several mutant creatures.
Overall, this is a pretty fun quickie monster movie throwback. The initial idea of the film basing the film on the rampage where the creations of the mad scientist heading out to seek revenge on those that wronged her comes off really nicely here, providing this to set about going through the motions of letting the creatures wreak havoc on those around them and be unsure of what's going on so the investigation into everything makes some sense. These are accomplished with admirably cheesy and silly attacks where the creatures' obviously puppet-based creations come along and launch equally goofy and silly confrontations where they pop up unexpectedly and ambush their victims leaving a trail of slime and goo behind to really hammer home the cheesy atmosphere incredibly well. Outside of this, though, there are some drawbacks here. The main issue is the amount of padding found in a movie this short. The series of scenes involving the world-weary cops complaining about their lives or the people they run into instead of the case they're handling feels quite off, while the scenes looking into the backstory of the doctor's experiments is conducted over a dragged-out conversation that doesn't really need to be as long as it is spread out over a somewhat plodding sequence. As well, you've also got to deal with the immensely silly and cheesy effects used throughout here with the creatures being obvious hand-puppets manipulated by off-screen technicians that fall into the charm being presented but never look close to being realistic or convincing that all pretty much the issues with this one.
