dworldeater I grew up in the 1980's and it was not until between 5-10 years ago that I became aware of writer/director Fred Dekker's debut classic Night Of The Creeps. Better late than never, but what matters is that I do enjoy it. The film is Dekker's homage of all kinds of horror, fantasy and science fiction. Night Of The Creeps is a great blend of campy horror, 50's sci fi and John Hughes style 80's teen comedies. Night Of The Creeps blends these genres easily and this film is a whole lot of campy, lighthearted fun. Rusty(from National Lampoon's Vacation movies) is a college nerd with one friend, who is crippled. However, he is witty, smart and more uninhibited than his shy buddy. He then goes out of his way to help his introverted pal score with the sorority chick he is afraid to talk to. This brings our heroes to fraternity membership, which leads to the thawing out of a cryogenically frozen corpse that is infested by alien slugs that turn people into zombies. This is where Tom Atkins shows up as a hard boiled detective. Tom Atkins performance is a highlight of the film and as action hero Atkins is awesome. His performance and presence greatly enhance the film, plus he has an incredibly stylish and manly moustache. Night Of The Creeps is tongue in cheek, action packed and funny horror flick. It has good performances, direction, f/x and lots of memorable 80's one liners. Night Of The Creeps is a lot of fun and not one to be missed.

gavin6942 Alien brain parasites, entering humans through the mouth, turn their host into a killing zombie. Some teenagers start to fight against them.So, in retrospect, it seems a bit cheesy to name characters Romero, Hooper, Raimi, and so on. The references are far too obvious. And this same thing would be repeated in "Dead Next Door" and probably other films. That can probably be excused. And, of course, there is the slightly less obvious reference of Dick Miller as "Walt", a nod to his character in "Bucket of Blood".There is a nice blend of fun, humor and horror here, and Tom Atkins is at his finest. Most probably think of him as the guy from "Halloween III", but this is the movie where he shines. Well, this and "Lethal Weapon".

jessegehrig I seen this movie. Thank you Netflix? I guess it's better than any of the Maniac Cop movies, have you seen any of those they are terrible. Editing is important, know what you are going to say before you start writing a review. Take it from me. Don't use up space recommending other movies like Full Metal Jacket or Hamlet 2 or The Exorcist. Night Of The Creeps is still on, I should change the channel or maybe I should get up and do some exercises, I hear fitness is important. Maybe that's what I'll do, I'll get up off the couch and DO something, I don't know I don't own a bike, I could walk, walking is good for you and it's free, just looked up and saw I'm only 21 minutes into the movie, Jesus.

atinder Night of the Creeps (1986) This is a re-watch, I not seen in over 10 years, I do remember that enjoyed it a lot, when I first saw it. The second watch, I didn't find all that great, The opening scenes was very bizarre, I had mixed with Black and white part of the movie. I thought the movie took a bit long to get going, I was bit bored in some parts of the movie however the second half of the movies dose make for it. When the movies actually gets really funny, some funny jokes and some good so-what gory zombie kills and some of death were very funny as well. The acting was great from the whole cast and I didn't mind the ending was decent!6 out of 10, Not as great as remembered, I think I enjoyed Slither a lot more
