There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

CREEPIES is a straight-to-video indie sci-fi/horror effort about a bunch of genetically-modified spiders growing to monstrous size and laying waste to a city. It's very much a homage/throwback to the 1950s monster movies of old, albeit made on a much inferior budget and without much in the way of technical expertise. The spiders are very bad CGI animations and thus not seen on screen too much, while the characters - including a girl grunge band and various soldiers - are flat and one-dimensional. I admit that this was quite amusing in places, though, even if it is slapdash and amateur; the destruction of the Hollywood sign is a nice little touch. Ron Jeremy has a requisite cameo. An inferior sequel followed.

Well, let's see. Some kind of mutant spider like creatures are on the rampage, killing and eating people, when suddenly a girl rock band....Wait a minute! This movie is far too terrible to give a synopsis of. It looks like it was shot by students at the local small town high school. These are some of the most schlocky monsters, special effects, and sets I've ever seen in a movie. Everything in this flick is like a throw-back to the early 1960's, complete with cheesy miniaturized tanks and planes. But it didn't improve on the special effects techniques of that era, it was much worse! What did they spend making it, $25? One reviewer on these pages asks how this movie made it to a video shelf for rental. How indeed?!? Ron Jeremy, a film face not exactly renowned for his thespian skills, is the best actor in this movie and he's only on screen for 3 minutes. You don't want to know what you get to look at for the other 80 minutes. Trust me! A film that only relatives of the lead actors could love.

This is the worst bug movie since BITE ME, and that's saying a lot. I retract everything that I've said about the Asylum being the worst horror production company around. That award has to go to Creep FX, the company behind this movie and the equally horrible Centipede! But you know, at least CENTIPEDE! had some beauty shots of India, and they seem to have actually shot on location. For locations, Creepies has a bunch of little balsa-wood train villages that are supposed to pass for the streets of Los Angeles. So the movie starts out when some kind of military experiment goes awry. Those silly mad military scientists, always making a new strain of spiders as the ultimate weapon when a nuclear bomb seems to work just fine.These military super spiders escape and start multiplying all over Los Angeles. The military sends out helicopters and tanks after them. Spiders of all shapes and sizes, some made out of rubber, some made out of plastic, attack matchbox cars and a remote control tank from Radio Shack. Creepies is almost bad enough to be funny, but it just takes itself too seriously. So, rather than laughing at the movie, you just wind up being mad at yourself for wasting an hour and a half of your life. This movie makes other monster spider movies like EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS look like masterpieces. Even if you like campy horror movies from Troma and Full Moon, you might want to skip this one.

Oi, nothing to special here pretty predictable B movie horror stuff. the plot is pretty predictable and the horror isn't too horrifying and it seemed like just one cliché too many was bandied about, but i still had a good time watching and got a good laugh out of the experience. the highlight for me was actually the soundtrack, the band they played, manda and the marbles, had some great songs during the movie. i ended up buying a cd of theirs after watching creepies. oh yeah and i'm sure a lot of people will be smitten by the lead actress. i'd say this is a good movie to watch with your tongue firmly in cheek and a lot of popcorn. it can be a lot of fun as long as you don't take it too seriously.
