Creature- Mamos Review

Sorry for the late review- just got back from vacation. I was out on beaches trying to get attacked by ancient sharks and grabbed for government experiments by mad scientists, but sadly I made it back unharmed. When will I get to use all the monster survival skills I have learned from these movies?

What I learned from this movie:

Not all German’s in movies have over the top accents, but they do all sexually harass American women.

Review:

The 80s was an amazing time for horror movies. The cheesy models and men wearing giant monster suits.  Give me a man in a giant rubber suit as a monster any day over a CGI anything (other then possibly a sasquatch because they are awsome and a man in a sasquatch suit will always look like chewbacca).

Creature featured two teams (one German, one American) exploring the moon of Titan. The first team there all dies, of course. And the second team investigates what went wrong.

This movie is full of unintentionally funny moments and actually as a pretty interesting story.

If I had to look for complaints with this movie it is that the monster doesn’t get enough screen time and how he only has one scientist killing move. He eats through peoples necks, it is cool, but it gets a little repetitive.

Best Monster Kill:

The monster neck bite. He catches his prey and slowly eats through their neck. It is a cool way for the monster to eat people, and is even more amazing when you see how slow the monster moves. He takes his time to get people, then he gets a nice snack.

Best Scene:

Don’t have to wait long for the best scene on the unintentional comedy scale. The movie opens with the german scientists (sadly no over the top german accent) finding a capsule with a monster in it. In celebration (all scientist celebrate this way) they take pictures of each other sitting on the capsule and release the monster who kills them. Creature 1 Science 0.

Rating:

Amazing film. I had to drop it 1/2 a point because there were no silly german accents, if only…

4/5 Colonel Klinks (because now all I can think about are funny germans)
