Review of The Crawlers (1991) by Allan C — 16 Jan 2016

There are badly made horror films, but this one is in that category of "Troll 2" where it's not just badly made but amateurishly made. This film was directed by veteran schlock director Joe D'Amato ("Anthropophagus" and "Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals") so he's not exactly Dario Argento or even a Bruno Mattei.

Still he's not completely incompetent, but this film I think was mostly hampered by some of the most embarrassingly bad acting I've ever seen in a film. It's clear that most of the people in this film had never acted before and when you pair that with embarrassingly bad dialogue ("I don't believe you kids.

I think you went out into the woods and snorted something you got from the big city.") you have a formula for just a terrible movie. However, this film is so awful that it can be enjoyed ironically, so that saves this film from a 1/2 star review.

Oh, and the story here involved plans tainted by toxic waste, which then turn into man killing crazed plants.
