Creature -- September 9, 2011
In the back country of Louisiana, a group of friends unearth a terrible secret that unleashes a monster from the depths of the swamp.

It's been a while since I've seen a decent creature feature. I hope it's good. |

One of my friends was telling me about this recently. IIRC, he said he's heard good things about it.

Re: Creature -- September 9, 2011
That looked awful, and I love creature features. Sort of half Black Lagoon, half Hatchet and all low budget. I'm there.

Re: Creature -- September 9, 2011
I read an article about this in Fango recently. I'll definitely see this. I'll probably have to wait for video though, because I doubt if my local theater actually gets this one.

Re: Creature -- September 9, 2011
The website says it's releasing nationwide. My local theater is getting it and it is a big Regal theater.

Re: Creature -- September 9, 2011
Might have to sneak away and check this one out. I think a Sid Haig cameo should be mandatory for all serious horror movies. :D

Killer Film gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

Re: Creature -- September 9, 2011
Sid Haig should be in everything! :lol:

Just think how he could spice up stuff like The Help if he did his normal schtick? |
Re: Creature -- September 9, 2011
As it turns out, this IS playing at my local theater. I'm psyched.

Re: Creature -- September 9, 2011
:lol: Likely won't see this in theaters, but looks like a campy good time for those that do.

Re: Creature -- September 9, 2011
Not showing at any of my local theaters :(
If I want to see it I'll have to trek across the Richmond Bridge. |
Re: Creature -- September 9, 2011
Not playing any where near me, but I'm looking forward to seeing this one. Looks fun.

Re: Creature -- September 9, 2011
Saw this at a matinee earlier today. The writer/directors parents were sitting right behind me. It was kind of cool. When we left, his dad asked me what I thought of the movie.
Pros -The story was decent. -The creature design was good. -Props for having a guy in a suit as the monster instead of it being CGI. -The nudity was good. -The practical effects were well done. -Lockjaw's back story was pretty neat, as far fetched as it may have been. -The ending was good (as hokey as it was). - Spoiler:
Cons -The first half was pretty boring. -The acting was pretty mediocre. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't very good. Overall, I would give it a 7/10. Good but not great. I would definitely be up for a sequel. |
Re: Creature -- September 9, 2011
I'm a big horror/creature feature fan, so I decided to check this out tonight. There were some comparisons to Hatchet (which I enjoyed, thought it was an effective and fun slasher movie) and he trailer made it look like it could be a fun monster b movie. Thats all I was hoping for, but I was disappointed.
It was incredibly boring, especially the first half. Uninteresting characters, an uninteresting backstory for the monster, and the movie felt twice as long as it was. A couple of scenes just felt endless, with unnecessary slow motion and lame people. I will say that the creature design worked, and while I appreciated the blood (even though there really wasn't that much) and nudity, it wasn't enough to save the movie. It seems like the people behind the movie do have an affinity for these flicks too, but they couldn't turn that love into a good movie. Some of the turns in the plot felt so thrown in and sloppy. I of course didn't go in hoping for an excellent story or great acting, but it failed to deliver a fun monster movie for me. Kind of hokey, really boring and just.. lifeless. Color me bummed. But another plus was one of the main girls, Serinda Swan, is quite easy on the eyes, we just don't see enough of her. Guess she was one of the "sirens" in Tron Legacy. By the way, I'm surprised that this is getting a fairly large release. Apparently the budget was 3 million, but outside of the creature it looks like an even cheaper movie. Also, the name The Bubble Factory (the production company) brings me great joy for some reason. I'd say * out of **** definitely try to wait for dvd, or maybe instant watch, save some cash. Or better yet just watch Creature from the Black Lagoon. |
Re: Creature -- September 9, 2011
I saw this listed at some local theaters. Never heard about it so I'm glad this thread was bumped.

Re: Creature -- September 9, 2011
It's a bit weird. No promotion and yet it's playing at all three local theaters. I checked out the showtimes this afternoon and didn't know what the hell this was. :lol:

Re: Creature -- September 9, 2011
Saw this yesterday. It's nothing great, but it was pretty decent. Like others have said, it was pretty slow to get started. I had a tough time getting into it for the first 30 minutes or so. The story was interesting and I enjoyed the backstory of Lockjaw. I'd definitely be down for a sequel.
