The Creeps (1997)

Powerful

Just perfect...

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Well, I just knew before going into this one it was going to be silly & goofy stuff. At least I got that out of it. Other than that, it's a pretty dull film about 4 horror icons (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Werewolf & The Mummy) returning to live (or should I say: materializing into flesh & blood?) as... little people (yes, midgets!). I appreciate Charles Band's goofy take on these legendary figures, but other than that, this movie has not much too offer. THE CREEPS is basically a comedy, mixed with some horror, sci-fi & detective elements. But it's just too silly for its own good. As with practically all the more recent Full Moon movies, the little plot there is always seems to run in circles and there's just not much going on. THE CREEPS is one of the so-so 'new era' Full Moon quickies. Not excruciatingly bad, but just not good enough. If you want to see better, then see DR. MOREAU'S HOUSE OF PAIN (2004). If you want to see worse than THE CREEPS, you could try sitting through PETRIFIED (2006). Anyway, unless you like a lot of names-dropping of several culty and obscure horror-flicks, one pair of naked boobies, a stuttering mad scientist out for world domination and a singing lesbian librarian/walkure and, well, seeing the aforementioned 4 horror icons severely reduced in size & menace, I wouldn't recommend seeing Band's THE CREEPS. I'm surprised good old Charlie never cranked out a sequel to this one. This time reducing these four horror legends to nothing higher than... a bunch of dolls.

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).

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 pleasereconsider 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

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.
