Sorry, this movie sucks

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A name that rings a bell for so many reasons, Creepozoids. It's remembered for the wrong reasons. It's slow and boring. Jesse mutating but in a cheesy way, in fact, only lenses were used for the eyes and some rubber glove. But the most famous thing or should I say things are the boobs from Linnea Quigley. After a nuke attack, not shown, survivors are searching for shelter to hide from the acid rain. The ran into an abandoned government research facility. Of course the experiments done left some kind of creature alive in the facility. It's from there that the horror comes in. But it comes in the wrong way. You really have to wait a long time before the mutated comes in and the survivors are under attack. First attack is some kind of giant rat but have a look, it looked stupid and it even didn't move. The second attack was the creature itself, pure rubber. Maybe the last 10 minutes are worth watching with the baby but still. No, this isn't good, no suspense, no red stuff, a real horror to watch except for...Gore 0/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Set in the post-apocalyptic near future of 1998 (this is an 80s flick, remember), Creepozoids sees a group of army deserters breaking into a heavily fortified building (well, the door was locked, anyway) in order to shelter from an acid-rain storm. This turns out to be a bad idea, for the place not only turns out to be home to giant killer rats, but also a biological experiment gone wrong: a virus designed to replace amino acids causes the soldiers to mutate and die if they eat, but worse still, there's a six foot rubber monster on the loose and it ain't very friendly.Directed by B-movie hack David DeCoteau, and starring Linnea Quigley, the quintessential 80s scream queen (plus a pre-hardcore Ashlyn Gere, here credited as Kim McKamy), this film is a very cheap and very trashy Alien rip-off that manages to be vaguely entertaining thanks to its sheer awfulness: marvel at Quigley's nipple enhancing vest and her uncanny ability to locate a working shower, even in an end-of-the-world scenario; be totally surprised when Gere DOESN'T remove her top; spot the major goof as one character reads a computer journal out loud, but his words fail to match those displayed on the screen; laugh as the cast wrestle with unconvincing, over-sized stuffed rodents; be amazed as DeCoteau foolishly attempts to recreate Ridley Scott's shocking mess-room scene from Alien; and wonder WTF is going on as a mutant baby erupts from the creature and proceeds to attack the sole survivor.

I'm not going to go out of my way to furiously bash it, but you can tell that I didn't care for director David DeCoteau's dragging quick-buck, direct-to-video post-apocalyptic sci-fi / horror film it at all. Everyone brings it up and deservedly so, the infamously steamy shower scene of its big draw-card Linnea Quigley. It's quite short, but transfixing. Even the schlock special effects and make-up FX are conceived with excessively grisly (gooey blood-leaking), tasteless and shonky details, but don't look all that bad for such a bottom-barrel budget (oh with the horrendous exception of the rubbery creature … or whatever?). Although for such a small running time and having a slight premise, it felt rather padded out and pointless. The opening sequence is laughably ridiculous. Some purposeless, unexplained things crop up (like large vicious rodent attacks and an aggressive new-born), but that's were the little excitement came from. It really does dawdle along and uses up commonly dull devices. I don't know how many times I could take seeing these folks run down the same corridor over and over again. DeCoteau had a chance to strike up some claustrophobic tension from these tightly limited (if disposable cardboard) sets, but never did he executed it well enough. Instead he favoured cheap, predictable shocks that were flatly handled. The fidgety synthesizer score is systematic across the board, and in passages the dark, hazy camera-work didn't help out matters.

Five young people desert the military during the apocalypse of WWIII and seek shelter in an abandoned research facility. Unfortunately, it is inhabited by giant rats and a...um...Creepozoid, I guess. This movie has approximately three main sets: The bedroom (and the nearby shower for the obligatory Linnea nude scene) where the characters hide when they are scared, the lair of the Creepozoid, and the hallway joining the two. In fact, most of this movie takes place with the characters running in the hallway, between the other two sets. There isn't much else to say about this. Oh yeah, the cast is cute, especially the lead. Unfortunately, he can't act and I reckon he slept with DeCoteau to get the role. Good for both of them. Gets an extra point for having a mutant baby in it for no ostensible reason.
