After a couple of days of Italian Horror, I decided to
venture back into one of the box sets that I have been going through. This one
is from the 12 Creature Features set and it is the 1964 entry The Creeping Terror.
Plot/ A newlywed sheriff tries to stop a shambling monster
that has emerged from a spaceship to eat the citizens of an American town.
Some movies are bad, and yes, some are really bad. Then you
get to movies like this one that take you to a new low. If you have read my
blog regularly, you already know hat I am a sucker for classic sci-fi and
horror from the 1950s and 1960, and that I can often look past the inherent
flaws that comes along with those creature feature. Unfortunately, this movie,
while hilarious, has no such appeal. Honestly, this may be the worst movie I
have ever watched regardless of the budget. There is really nothing that it can
lean on to save itself. The acting, the lighting, the cinematography, the sets,
and the effects are absolutely laughable and do not have any redeeming
qualities. Yet, there is something with this one, and the bizarre nature of the
entire production that makes it a fun watch every so often. In the end, if you
decide to make the jump and give this one a shot, then be warned, it is nowhere
near a good movie (although the MST3K edition is decent) and you may regret
your decision.
