Review of Creepozoids (1987) by Carl N — 07 Dec 2009

In a post-apocalyptic world where World War III wages in the futuristic late-90's, a small group of military deserters take refuge from acid rain in an abandoned research facility where the worst is yet to come as they encounter a large alien-like monster, mutated rats, and human baby/alien hybids in this hilarious campy, corny, low budget monster flick.

The film was directed by cult low-budget directing king David DeCoteau, whose list of films stretches for miles and miles; many of which under different disguised pseudonyms. The two most familiar faces in this group include the two female leads: Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead, Savage Streets, etc) in heyday and showing off that hot body of hers before she wrecked it with an overabundance of drugs, and Kim McKamy (aka pornstar Ashlyn Gere) in an early non-nude role before she went on to take cocks in the mouth and butt.

Given this films ridiculou name, one should be well away of what they are getting into with a film like Creepozoids. The effects aren't actually that bad (though I'm of the old school and much rather prefer these types rather than CGI), but the overall story and acting scream campy and unintentional comedy gold.

Thank goodness it's barely 70 minutes long. Worth a watch just for its corny 80's allure, especially with friends and booze.
