    Island of red Zuni dolls.

    The plot of "Attack of the Beast Creatures" is relatively simple:a group of castaways land on a mysterious and deserted North Atlantic island with trees and deadly acidic water.The island is inhabited by flesh-eating critters that promptly start killing survivors.Badly acted and amateurish horror flick that is strangely compelling and entertaining.There is a lot of walking in "Attack of the Beast Creatures",so patience is needed.The dialogue is outrageously banal,but the attack scenes are hilarious and bloody enough.The tiny wooden dolls are cute and they provide plenty of campy entertainment.They hide in the trees and run through grass like crazy in pursuit of their screaming victims.Nasty little natives,I kid ya not.Give this obscure little creature feature a look.8 out of 10.

    Trash movie deserves a look!!

    Totally insane trash movie where a several shipwreck suvivors on a desert island faces strange creatures likes little puppets with black hair who attack them at night and day, this devil puppets are quite well done and disappoint no one as entertainment only, they certainly choose a desert island to saves money of course and this will amuzing everyone, whatever the result after watching deserve a look for those who loves trash movies!! a bit o criticism could be a lack of nudity scenes as appears in this kind of production!!

    Resume:

    First watch: 2018 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD-R / Rating: 4

    Makes watching bad movies worth the while!

    This was a real treat. The film starts off a little slow, so hang in there because once the action starts you will probably choke on your beer or mountain dew out of sheer hysterical laughter. In my journey through "grade Z" movies, it is movies like Attack of the Beast Creatures that make it all worth it. This is the type of movie that I put on that "special shelf" for the friends that don't want to have to think or invest much of themselves into a film. For those friends who you would like to impress with a movie so bad, that it is just beautiful. This was made at a time when bad films were at least still shot on film. Now days "grade z" movies are shot on daddy's new digital camcorder, so they don't have any real cinematic quality. This has some cinematic quality...OK, cinematic quality in a really "grade z" kind of way.

    If you want Freddie Kreuger, Jason, or The Ring Meets the Grudge Part 4, then go to your local Blockbuster. Leave the trash to us trashmongers...I love it!

    Bad Acting, Bad FX Equals Bad Movie

    I LOVE a good low-budget horror movie. Thing is it needs to be good. Here, we have a movie that looks like it has a budget of $250 and yes that includes the FX.

    We enter the story as a group of people have been shipwrecked and so they drift aimlessly through the water in their lifeboat named Obelisk. Soon they hit land after the credits end and due to brutal lighting what looks like angry, spoiled sausages attack them in the night. By first light we see they actually look like ravenous, haunted dolls. Time to try and stay alive.

    The music by John P. Mozzi is actually quite effective and way better than this movie deserves. Super bad acting by almost everyone in this movie.

    Might be good to sit down with a good friend with some of your favourite beers and/or whiskey and get some good laughs. Otherwise steer clear.

    Shipwreck survivors face off against the "Beast Creatures!"

    Despite what you may have read or heard, this silly low-budgeter is a great rental despite whatever shortcomings it has. However, you might have an impossible time trying to track down a tape because this has been out of circulation for years.

    Filmed in 1983, this concerns the struggle for survival among a small group of shipwreck survivors on a secluded island (really inland Fairfield, Connecticut, where this was filmed). A seemingly innocent water stream is actually full of acid as one poor parched man soon finds out, and worse, the island is home a cult of small, killer, TRILOGY OF TERROR-style dolls. The dolls have red faces, long black hair, glow-in-the-dark eyes and sharp pointy teeth. Their jaws open so they can screech and their arms move up and down when they scurry through the woods, but other than that, they are hilariously immobile.

    I don't want to get too much into the story, but some of the assault/ambush techniques devised by the little critters are very amusing and the low-level POV camera-work and eerie music score service the entertaining story very well. This film is a blast!

    Score: 6 out of 10

      Philip: You and Mr. Quinn... you both are unnatural since you've come back.

      John Trieste: It's Mr. Bruin.

      Philip: He was in a bad shape, nobody expect him to survive!

      John Trieste: It is the way we found him.

      Philip: Well, how did you find him?

      John Trieste: You don't give up easily, Phil, huh? Well, listen. We didn't wanna worry everyone unnecessarily, so keep this to yourself: when we got to him his body was picked clean to the bone.

      Philip: In such a short period of time? By what?

      John Trieste: I don't know.
