Criaturas

Bad acting.

Bad effects.

Bad script.

The only way it would be redeemable would be if it was submitted as a remedial student's film project.

If you want to watch how a low budget B grade alien invasion movie should be done watch Peter Jackson's "Bad Taste".

This movie is perfect if you just want to watch something light and nonsensical and are generally in the mood for something so bad it's good. Definitely do not watch it if you're not into watching bad movies for fun and don't expect it to always make sense. The blinking of the aliens can get on one's nerves, the first ten times it's alright but after that you really want them to just stop. The characters are of course stupid and stereotypical and you don't have to be a genius to know who's gonna die, but you probably wouldn't watch the movie expecting there to be well-written characters or characters that aren'tjust meant to be cannonfutter.

'Creatures' is so bad it hurts. It's well enough photographed, I will give them that but the rest...complete garbage. Acting is diabolically bad. There is like 30 'actors' in the film and yet none of them has any charisma or onscreen presence. None of them can act and none of them is memorable. Also, the lead guy who is absolutely pathetic is a producer and an executive producer of the film, not an actor and he's just so painful to watch/hear it's beyond me that they actually allowed him to appear on the screen, let alone being the lead. The script is absolutely non existent, the comedy bits are painfully unfunny and the gore is pretty much all digital. Please don't even get me started on the cgi which is absolutely atrocious. Some latex puppets are present as well but at this point, nobody cares. Seriously, this is a rock bottom kind of film. It's general look doesn't look THAT cheap so I would say it's not an amateur effort which is even worse because that means the people behind it are extremely untalented. Also, the little plot there is seems to be stolen from the recent 'Critters' sequel/reboot(aliens chasing cute fluffy alien). Do yourself a favor and avoid it like a plague.

The film is definitely lots of fun, has cool effects, good amount of gore and a cool story switching between genres. Its not aimed to be a high quality blockbuster but wants to dgive you 90 minutes of good time which it certainly delivered. I really enjoyed the film and can highly recommend it.

Who else might combine aliens, zombies and furry little gremlins? The acting and camerawork in this film aren't bad, but everything else is, especially the story itself, along with the editing, which lacks the timing that might have make it work as a "so bad it's good" movie- it's not. Save your hour (or however much you could take) for something better. Pretty much anything.
