The Creeps
the next time i order any movie i should read reviews first ,check imdb second ,and third decide to buy or not .i failed in doing so when i bought this movie,what a waste of 5 $. this not a horror movie of course ,so all genre fans please reconsider before buying any full moon movies(most of them are nice) but not this movie"the creeps ",the only creeps here are the cast except phil fondacaro the summary: a mad scientist recreate the horror legends but in a midgit form(dracula,franky,mummy,wolfy)and try to rule the world by controlling the midgits( they look really funny) nice performance by phil fondacaro(the best actor here) as dracula the rest of the cast really dont know what they ar doing. of course you can watch this movie if you are really drunk
THE CREEPS is yet another monster-themed production from Charles Band and Full Moon Pictures and yet another film about miniature creatures. This one seems to be lower budgeted than ever, taking place in just a room or two. A mad scientist brings back all of the great monsters from literature but they end up as short versions of themselves. There are some fun references and allusions in the dialogue (such as to Jess Franco) but a real dearth of actual content, no horror, and dull character interaction padding out the running time.
This is an adorable little flick. The simple truth is that I have seen this one over and over again, I never tire of it. I would recommend this one to anyone who enjoys a top notch B movie. Warning, movie watchers who have problems with enjoying simple movies which have no serious 'change the world for the better' messages will not like it. If, however, you want to see terrific acting and a wonderful script, pick this one up as soon as you can.
This would have been a typical don't waste your time b grade move if not for Phil Fondacaro. He plays his part like he really is Dracula, stuck in a four foot tall body. Even his eye make-up are top notch.The movie was worth watching for his performance. Made an otherwise poorly made movie really entertaining.
THE CREEPS was shot in widescreen and 3-D but released most widely on video, where it is presented flat and panned and scanned. It has been shown in 3-D in a few theatres, mostly during 3-D festivals. Director Charles Band also directed two earlier 3-D films, PARASITE (1982) and METALSTORM (1983).
A mad scientist brings Dracula, the Wolfman, the Mummy, and Frankenstein's Monster to life... but there is a problem and they end up only three feet tall. Steve Miller heavily criticized the film in his book 150 Movies You Should Die Before You See, as he felt that the film was homophobic and made fun of people with dwarfism. I could maybe allow the homophobic bit, but I am less inclined to agree about the dwarfism. One, the film is no more degrading to dwarfs than any other film that uses such actors. And two, Full Moon has long been (and continues to be) an employer of Phil Fondacaro. I don't typically defend Full Moon, but at least they're treating him right. As for the merits of the film itself... well, it is sort of a funny idea, and i love that Guy Endore gets some love. But, yeah, not great. Better than most Full Moon, but that's not saying much.
