The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Welcome to the post-apocalypse!!! Rival factions are waging chemical warfare on each other, and it has led to the creation of a deadly acid rain, which has either wiped out or mutated most of the world's population.We find ourselves following a group of adolescents, as they seek shelter from an approaching storm.They end up finding some sort of old science facility, which has been abandoned and fallen into disuse. So, they figure it's as good a place as any to hold out until the war ends and fallout passes.However, it might not be as empty as it seems...something is lurking in the shadows...and it's taking them out one-by-one...I guess that something is a Creepozoid (though, you'd only know from the title)...and given that, I'm still not entirely sure what a Creepozoid is...Though, from what I gather, it's some sort of chemically and/or genetically altered Alien-like mutant, that contains a cannibalistic baby inside it's skull- from which it is born, upon it's death. But it could also include giant man-eating rats and "infected" superhumans, whom die if they eat real food. I couldn't tell if the term was broad or specific.There is a lot of barely explicable sh*t going on in this film. So much, in fact, that i can't believe I actually managed to follow what was going on. They really leave the viewer to read into all the subtle details.The acting is pretty bad too. But the special effects are pretty rad. The baby and the monster are particularly badass. The baby totally reminds me of the zombaby from Dead Alive. And, all criticisms aside, the whole thing has a sort of Evil Dead vibe going for it...which is definitely the best part. However, for me, this one kind of straddles the border between being one of those it's-so-bad-it's-good films, and just being bad. It's about on par with something like The Boogens (ie cool monsters, but kind of sh*t in every other department), if that gives you any bearings.5 out of 10.

It's the not so distant "future" (1998, to be exact) and Earth has been decimated by nuclear wars. What's left is a barren wasteland, not that we ever get to see it. A small team of Army deserters (three men, two women) come across a scientific installation where your standard issue strange experiments have been going on. In this case, they revolved around creating those amino acids that the human body can't create on its own. The result is a monster that makes mincemeat of these dumb chumps in record time.One can't help but laugh at micro budget drek such as "Creepozoids", which is good, because otherwise, we wouldn't really get much entertainment value out of it. Everything about it is primitive, including the makeup and creature effects. Co-writer / co-producer / director David DeCoteau pays as much tribute to "Alien" as he can, but the gaps between the two films are hilariously obvious at every turn. There's zero suspense, very little action, a redundant finale, the requisite sex and nudity (it *does* star Linnea Quigley, after all), a delicious and catchy cheese ball electronic score by Guy Moon, and amusing performances.Linnea is lovely and appealing, as she always is. Ken Abraham ("Hobgoblins"), Michael Aranda, Richard L. Hawkins ("Close Encounters of the Third Kind"), and extremely prolific adult film actress Ashlyn Gere co-star.The ending is particularly bad, but it adds to the appeal of this hunk of junk.Five out of 10.

First, I don't recall them saying how much time has past since the nuclear war. Second, after the nukes fly that would be it, no more. Everyone knows that a nuclear war will start and end in a matter of minutes. There would be per longed battles or front lines to desert from. So the idea of deserters from the front line of a nuclear war doesn't make any kind of sense no matter how you slice it. I mean, even "The Day After" got that right. Next, the atmosphere was like nothing, we saw no devastated buildings, no destroyed cites, not even stock-footage of a nuclear bomb test. So we nothing of the world they lived in. What was the point of creating an animal that don't need to eat, how will that help mankind even if they got the bloody thing to work? So, what was the point? All of this and to make matters even worse the characters were as likable and as interesting as dried unbuttered toast. I don't blame the cast, they did the best they could with what they had, I put the blame on this on the director and the writer which happen to be the same creep David DeCoteau. Do some freakin' research next time, jerk. I give this train wreck of a movie THE NOOSE!

This is just another typically lousy and low-budgeted 80's crap movie in which mutant creatures kill and eat a bunch of characters you don't care about to begin with, anyway. The writers of this piece of junk apparently were a bit pessimistic about the near future, as the year is 1998 and the entire world is unlivable already! Due to constant nuclear warfare, acid rain falls from the sky and scientists messed up some dangerous experiments that resulted in super-intelligent monsters. In other words; welcome to the 80s, my friends! Anyway, five military deserters seek shelter in an abandoned lab and soon they face the monster as well giant fake rats. Wow, what a BAD movie! Despite being very short (about 70min.), "Creepozoids" still manages to be incredibly tedious and especially the monster baby battle at the end is way too long. The multiple attempts to make the film look like "Alien" are pathetic, the cheesy sequences with the rat couldn't be more random and the music as well as the dialogs are downright painful to listen to. I don't care if Linnea Quigley has hundred gratuitous shower scenes, this is just intolerable nonsense.
