Deadly spiders are accidentally unleashed from a top-secret military installation. Army specialists and Tanks are called in to exterminate the deadly predators, but the outbreak is worse than expected. Weapons of mass destruction have little or no effect on the venomous spiders. Civilians are strangled with spider webs and eaten alive. The Military in a desperate effort to eradicate the killer spiders, decide to demolish the entire city.

Good concept, poorly executed.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

CREEPIES is a straight-to-video indie sci-fi/horror effort about a bunch of genetically-modified spiders growing to monstrous size and laying waste to a city. It's very much a homage/throwback to the 1950s monster movies of old, albeit made on a much inferior budget and without much in the way of technical expertise. The spiders are very bad CGI animations and thus not seen on screen too much, while the characters - including a girl grunge band and various soldiers - are flat and one-dimensional. I admit that this was quite amusing in places, though, even if it is slapdash and amateur; the destruction of the Hollywood sign is a nice little touch. Ron Jeremy has a requisite cameo. An inferior sequel followed.

This is the worst bug movie since BITE ME, and that's saying a lot. I retract everything that I've said about the Asylum being the worst horror production company around. That award has to go to Creep FX, the company behind this movie and the equally horrible Centipede! But you know, at least CENTIPEDE! had some beauty shots of India, and they seem to have actually shot on location. For locations, Creepies has a bunch of little balsa-wood train villages that are supposed to pass for the streets of Los Angeles. So the movie starts out when some kind of military experiment goes awry. Those silly mad military scientists, always making a new strain of spiders as the ultimate weapon when a nuclear bomb seems to work just fine.These military super spiders escape and start multiplying all over Los Angeles. The military sends out helicopters and tanks after them. Spiders of all shapes and sizes, some made out of rubber, some made out of plastic, attack matchbox cars and a remote control tank from Radio Shack. Creepies is almost bad enough to be funny, but it just takes itself too seriously. So, rather than laughing at the movie, you just wind up being mad at yourself for wasting an hour and a half of your life. This movie makes other monster spider movies like EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS look like masterpieces. Even if you like campy horror movies from Troma and Full Moon, you might want to skip this one.

This movie was so bad it almost ventured into the realm of being good. Was it the bad acting? Was it the toys they tried to pass off as tanks, helicopters and vehicles? Was it the horrible dialogue? The unrealistic computer-animated spiders? The amateurish cinematography? Was it the fact that the spiders could talk? Or the nuclear device that was nothing more than a briefcase full of dynamite?Actually, it was the nuclear device that was nothing more than a briefcase full of dynamite. This is what finally pushed the movie over the edge of bad for me. I'm not exaggerating. Also contained in the briefcase was a mobile phone, a few wires and a computer screen made out of tin foil for that extra sense of 'realism'. (I can't even begin to describe what the interiors of the helicopters and tanks looked like…) Watching 'Creepies' was like watching a bad high school film production, without the excuse of it being a high school film production. That's not to say I wasn't entertained. I think, in a group, as long as alcohol is involved, or as long as you want something to make fun of, 'Creepies' will delivery a solid hour and twenty minutes of entertainment, though perhaps not in the way the movie intended.

Oi, nothing to special here pretty predictable B movie horror stuff. the plot is pretty predictable and the horror isn't too horrifying and it seemed like just one cliché too many was bandied about, but i still had a good time watching and got a good laugh out of the experience. the highlight for me was actually the soundtrack, the band they played, manda and the marbles, had some great songs during the movie. i ended up buying a cd of theirs after watching creepies. oh yeah and i'm sure a lot of people will be smitten by the lead actress. i'd say this is a good movie to watch with your tongue firmly in cheek and a lot of popcorn. it can be a lot of fun as long as you don't take it too seriously.
