Savage Creatures

Kudos to Kelly Brown & Victoria Steadman as Rose & Ursula. The two leads make a clearly low budget film amazingly fun. Obviously they had fun making this film. Going in NOT knowing the plot at all I almost turned it off after the first scene. I still get squeamish when kids get killed in horror. Give it time though. You find yourself rooting for and laughing with the leads. I certainly hope Ms Brown & Ms. Steadman continue on making films. They are fun to watch.

No pun intended - I was actually looking for a different movie with a similar title. A French production I think - anyway back to this very low budget production ... which tries to make up for the lack of money (and acting talent mostly) by flooding the place ... well the script that is. There are quite a lot of characters and quite a lot of twists and turns ... it's kind of eating itself - if you catch my drift ... or is it grift? No just kidding of course.

If you suspend your disbelief and just have fun with movies that are done with a certain amount of money (or none at all) and you cherish that ... well you will have fun ... and I mean even before you see the blooper (reel) during the credits ... a couple of scenes of stuff that went wrong. Really cute and funny.

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.

But it was really funny, just the concepts going on in this movie made it fun, Cannibals vs Vamps, then Vamps vs Zombies created by aliens, then Vamps vs Priest/Nun, then Vamps vs the Aliens.

It was cute, and fun, worth the $1.25 I spent on it.
