3.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Alien rip-offs, February 2, 2004

By 

Lunar Strain "Thrash, don't mind if I do" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Creature (DVD)

I have never seen a rip-off movie try so hard to be original. Director William Malone sure tries hard, in both his directing and his script, but still fails to show any originality. Everything fromt he female lead to the actual design of the creature itself is a direct steal from Alien. With that said I have to say that Creature is actually one of the better Alien rip-offs that I have seen, and believe me there are plenty of Alien rip-offs out there. Most are very poor (Star Crystal and Dead Space come to mind), and though Creature itself isn't a great film, it actually comes out as one of the better of the bunch. Most of the cast actually try to pull this film off, especially the Stan Ivar and Wendy Schaal, but a few of the cast members come off looking really bad in the acting department. And what about Klaus Kinski? THat man was considered a great actor in his time, so what is he doing in Creature? Whatever the reason, I was still glad to see him and his short but memorable presence brings the film up in quality level. So is Creature a good film? No. Is it cheesy? Yes, though it tries hard not to be. Is it entertaining? You bet. A great midnight film that deserves a proper DVD release. Diamond Entertaiment gives us a nicely priced disc but the picture quality is only slightly better than the original VHS release from Media Home Video. Though the image isn't the best, it is far from unwatchable, and it can make a great entry into any sci-fi fans DVD library.

TRIVIA: THe film ahd a budget of $4 million and was titled The Titan Find in other parts of the world. The special effects crew went on to do the special effects for Aliens a year after working on creature. (I guess Creature was good practice for them)

1.0 out of 5 stars Great Film---Horrible picture and sound on dvd, January 17, 2002

This was a great movie, it deserves a better release. The picture is horrible on this disc. but, if you still want to see it you can get it. I would wait until Anchor bay releases it, if ever. but it still has a great story of sci-fi fantasy throughout.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Corny Sci-Fi, April 11, 2005

By 

Millie Rim Job Dee "Like Baby Asprins" (On Top, Mo Mo) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Creature (DVD)

This is a great cheesy movie. It lags a bit through the middle but provides some good laughs all around if you are interested in bad special effects and silly sci-fi plots. Also, the packaging is one of those thin cardboard sleeves found at Dollar Store DVD selections. Don't expect quality, though it's good for a few cheap laughs.

I initially got this DVD because I am a huge Klaus Kinski fan, though it doesn't contain much of that fierce energy found in many of his movies. He's pretty out of his element here in a low point of his career.

There are several totally pointless and un-arousing boob shots, cheesy one-liners, and a poor demonstration of camera techniques. I got it for (...) a very reasonable (and justifiably low) price. Well worth it;)
