Review of Creature (2011) by Steve L — 12 Sep 2011

Overdone, lukewarm attempt at a monster horror film. This is 2011, and boring horror movies are way too common. This was made on a $3 million budget, but looks as if I could have done something of the same caliber in my backyard for $50.

The "first kill" in horror movies is often the attention-getting devices that set the mood for the rest of the film and give us information about the plot and setting. All I got was that some naked hippie chick got her legs cut off while bathing in a lake that could have been in any state.

We also get a romantic conversation and then a scene of two drunk girls making out crosses over another scene of a snake sliding through grass. And what is with the guy taking pictures of the couple having sex? Nothing was explained and it seemed like a cheap attempt at sexualizing for no reason.

There was a nice twist but it really didn't live up to expectations.

The film was slow, the deaths were boring, and there was nothing memorable in the least about Creature. It wasn't even bad enough to stick in my memory.
