Back in 2005, B-movie maven Charles Band directed genre icon Tony Todd in Cutter’s Club, but the indie horror movie ran into financial trouble at the end of production and it never saw the light of day.

20 years later, in the wake of Todd’s passing, Band rescued the lost negative and completed the film, which is now streaming exclusively on Tubi via Full Moon Features.

Creatures, carnage, and macabre malpractice ensue when a pair of medical students get involved in a secret society of surgery fetishists and monster makers called the Cutter’s Club, overseen by the maddest of doctors.

I’ll be honest, The Creeps originally came at a time when, beyond the Puppet Master movies, I had grown tired of Full Moon’s schtick… Having moved the studio to Romania, their production values were falling, casting choices were resulting in some truly wooden performances and worst of all their films were getting more and more ridiculous, with gimmicks replacing decent stories. Case in part, The Creeps.

Released in 1997, The Creeps – at least on paper – sounds utterly ridiculous, even for a Full Moon flick, and it’s easy to see why I avoided it for so long. The film is essentially a redux of the “mad scientist” story we’ve seen a million times before – itself a movie archetype as much as the classic monsters who are the heroes of...
