I'm sure that if I grate off all the eighties cheese this film is covered in I could criticise the hell out of it.

I just don't want to. I love slimy alien slugs that turn people into killer zombies which were dropped on earth by alien fetuses carrying laser guns.

I'm weird that way.

If I could make a movie, it would probably be a lot like this.

I'm usually a hard sell on some of these 80's horror movies because I often find myself thinking of ways it could be better, or it's good up to the ending, or the characters are uninteresting, etc. But NIGHT OF THE CREEPS is one of the funniest (and most fun) horror-comedy movies from that decade. Tom Atkins, in what may be his greatest role, plays a hard-drinking, memory-hating detective who seems to hate everything and everyone. Apparently, he needs to be thrilled quite a bit as well. Not to mention it has one of the best endings of any film of this type, hitting all the right notes. Also fun if you like seeing fraternity dudes' heads explode.

Horror fun perfection.

This was a really fun horror B-Movie. Really enjoyed finally seeing it. The humor it had worked. I loved that it was an homage to earlier B-Movies like The Blob. The acting was good. Sure there are some dumb moments but it is overall a good film. If your a B-Movie fan check it out. Worth a watch.

"Here... hold this, you'll feel better".

I will never understand how the man who directed both this fine example of a movie and Monster Squad also directed the fucking atrocity that is Robocop 3.

Anyway.
Night Of The Creeps is a work of genius. There are just so many quotable lines and intentionally hammy performances that I spent most of the film either grinning or laughing maniacally.

Some of the camera trickery is impressive and the physical effects hold up pretty well. Barry de Vorzon's sythn score is so perfectly cheesy and the tone of the piece is easily a precursor to works such as Peter Jackson's Braindead and James Gunn's Slither.

Oh... and loved the use of Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Out Of Space in the sorority house mistress' cottage.

Absolutely loved this silly, fun, stupid movie.
Worth a watch.

Good fun. Great FX. Tom Atkins is the shit.

Any monster movie that would lovingly name it's female lead "Cindy Cronenberg" gets automatic points in my book. The script sizzles with 80's attitude and the clothes belong in a museum. It even has one of my personal favorite 80's-tropes: 1950's nostalgia! Also quite possibly the single greatest bathroom graffiti of all time - "STRYPER RULES!"

"It's Miller Time."

Ich bin überrascht, wie gut sich der Film gehalten hat! Vor allem tempotechnisch wirklich gut gelungen und eine wunderbare Aneinanderreihung von Verbeugungen an andere Genreklassiker. Trotzdem ist daraus dann letztlich ein eigenständiger, wunderbar unterhaltsamer Genremix entstanden. Herrlich!

Awesome little movie. Not too freaky but weird enough to keep my attention. It had some really funny moments and nice nods to '80s stuff.
The story kinda tried to have everything at once, psychopaths, aliens, grudgebearing detectives but it still works okay. The dialog was entertaining and had a great '80s feel to it..
Better than Killer Klowns, worse than Re-Animator.

Great 80's horror cheese.

This is a great send-up of the 1950s era monster movies that saturated the horror genre. It manages to at once take the story serious enough that you sympathize with the characters but also has enough fun with itself that it is never falls into self-parody.

Tom Atkins is a great as usual. He is one of the horror genres most dependable actors and this is no exception. Fred Dekker, who would go on to make The Monster Squad, reveals a real appreciation for the genre he is working in with his direction and the screenplay shows a thorough knowledge of horror convention and knowledge.

This is not a groundbreaking, transcendent genre film like Dawn of the Dead or The Exorcist. It operates well within the confines of the genre but it does so brilliantly.
