Review of Hideous! (1997) by Tim W — 03 Feb 2013
Two competing collectors that specializes in human oddities are at war with each other over a freakish new find that they each wish to add to their collection, but they'll have more to fear than each others' inflated egos when their misshapen mutant merchandise awakens the other creatures on the shelf to launch an attack on their eccentric owners. Charles Band returns with another goofy creature feature that takes the absurd camp comedy to a whole other dimension. HIDEOUS is filled with outrageously over the top performances from Michael Citriniti, Mel Johnson Jr., and Tracie May, who play into the silliness of the plot and bring Benjamin Carr's twisted humor to life. The creature designs and special effects are on par with most other Full Moon features of the 90's, with few scares and very little gore. Band sets the mood with a creepy castle that is filled with trap doors, booby traps, and of course, half-naked evil assistants in monkey masks. HIDEOUS is goofy entertainment from beginning to end, and a fun find for B-movie fans.
