'The good news is your dates are here. The bad news is they're dead.' The idiotic 1986 sci-fi horror comedy film Night of the Creeps stars Jason Lively, Steve Marshall, Jill Whitlow and Tom Atkins. It flopped but now has a cult following.
The main characters' last names are based on famous horror and sci-fi directors: George A Romero (Chris Romero), John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper (James Carpenter Hooper), David Cronenberg (Cynthia Cronenberg), James Cameron (Detective Ray Cameron), John Landis (Detective Landis), Sam Raimi (Sgt Raimi) and Steve Miner (Mr Miner The Janitor). But, like the film, so what?

Tom Petch's gripping and intelligent 2013 British war action drama film The Patrol is set in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, in 2006, and looks at the Afghan conflict through the eyes of dazed and scared British soldiers.
It is highly recommended, though right now it has an unfairly low vote on the IMDb.
It won the jury prize for Film of the Festival - Feature at the Raindance Film Festival 2013.
The cast are Owain Arthur as Taff, Nicholas Beveney as Sergeant 'Sol' Campbell, Daniel Fraser as Lieutenant Jonathan Bradshaw, Alex McNally as Ginge, Oliver Mott as Stab, Ben Righton as Captain William Richardson, and Nav Sidhu as Smudge.

Director Guy Myhill's coming of age film is edgy and impressive, with an eye-catching turn by Liam Walpole matching Simon Tindall's eye- catching photography of a depressing, down-at-heel part of Norfolk. Myhill's feature debut stars Walpole as 16 year-old Goob Taylor, who returns home to his mother (Sienna Guillory) for the summer in rural Norfolk where he grew up. The material in many ways is pretty familiar, but Myhill brings it up entirely fresh, as though this is the first time this kind of story has ever been told, making it feel unique. It's just 80 minutes, but it's got all the story you need packed in there. http://derekwinnert.com/the-goob-2014-movie-review/
