Night of the Creeps

(Fred Dekker ;1986)

(HBO Cannon Video)

The night of the formal is finally here for Chris, Cindy and J.C. It’s going to be the best night of their lives. But tonight is also the night of the creeps. From a world unknown comes a nightmare unimagined. First, they are under you, around you, inside of you, then, you’re dead.

This is an underground classic from the 80’s. Well written, albeit intentionally campy, good special effects, and plenty of 80’s schlock. A decent amount of gore and an unfortunately paltry amount of T&A (c’mon guys, it takes place in a sorority… what a waste), but a great time killer that will please fans. If you haven’t seen this little gem yet, do yourself a favor and track down a copy.  

Overall Score: 8
