Hide and Creep

Very rarely do ordinary and regular people who love movies get to actually make them. Imagine that for just a moment - what would you do if you were told you got to do the one thing you've loved since you were a child and share that with the world? That's how I would describe this film, a labor of child-like love. Does money matter when you're doing what you love? No. Because it's all about the heart. And this film's heart is bigger than any blockbuster on the market. That counts for something. I don't want to be elitist and say that if you don't like this film then you just don't get it, because honestly that's too easy. I'll say instead that if you don't like this film, then you simply haven't seen enough movies. Enough to know the difference between a movie made for profit versus a movie made for sheer love and devotion for the medium; for the idea and for the experience. Those movies are not for everyone, they can't be. They're for the ones of us who enjoy the unique and random exposure to something original and are willing to take a chance that it might be a total bomb. The zombie genre isn't original. But this film is. And it made this fan feel like a kid again. That is why I love it, why I own it, and why I re-watch it often.

If you enjoy "B" movies with "C" attitude then this movie is for you. While the plot is OK, it is predictable. The writing loosely reminds me of Kevin Smith's style. I am by no means comparing Kevin Smith to these writers so don't get your hopes up. The special effects are limited. This movie was done on a budget and it shows. The DVD box compares this movie to Shaun of the Dead. I don't think so. There are some funny parts though. Despite all of this movie's shortcomings, I did like it. This movie compares to "Children of the Dead" for so many reasons. I don't regret renting this move. IF you enjoy low budget horror films, give this one a try. It is a lot better than a lot of films I have rented.

For the horror fans in the crowd, even the fringe fans, this is an enjoyable movie. Sure, it's low budget, it pays homage to other B-movies and the acting isn't going to win any Oscars. For all that, it does a decent job of entertaining with the premise of rednecks battling zombies.

There isn't a lot of sleaze; only one scene with minor nudity, nor does the gore go over the top, so it isn't a schlockfest. The characters seem to be enjoying their roles, the dialogue was semi-witty, the production values better than many movies in the genre. It looks like a movie that was fun to work on.

Good enough for zombie fans? Yes, indeed, the zombies are quite acceptable in this movie and act according to the standard model of zombie behavior. They lurch, drool, bite and bleed like zombies should.

This is a beer and chips movie, without doubt. Enjoy it with your friends and some snacks. Break out the stash first and you'll be rating it up there with The Godfather.

The reviewer who labeled this "The WORST movie of all time" must not have seen many movies. Far worse films top the box office on an average weekend. Some people just can't handle low budget movies. Some can't handle Horror Comedies. So if you're a stickler for a multi-million dollar budget and a film that takes itself too seriously, you may well want to avoid Hide and Creep. On the other hand, if you're like most genre fans and enjoy the occasional humor with your Horror, you should get a kick out of this film. If you like films along the lines of Bad Taste, Evil Dead 2, Evil Aliens and Slither then you'll probably understand this movie.

Hide and Creep is both a parody and an homage to Romero and Raimi and Jackson. It's chock full of in jokes and not so subtle references that only a true movie geek can fully appreciate. Lots of bad makeup and iffy effects that some movies would expect the audience to believe as genuine. That's part of the gag. The zombies aren't meant to look 'real'. The gore is meant to induce more laughs than scares. Again, don't take the film too seriously. It's not a serious film. It's a comedy. Not a broad, slapstick parody in the Scary Movie vein but a parody just the same. Better than Shaun of the Dead? No but I laughed more at Hide and Creep than I did Shaun or even Slither for that matter.

While small on budget, Hide and Creep is huge on heart. Real Horror fans should appreciate such love for the genre and the effort put forth by young filmmakers with no studio backing.

OKay first off I had nothing to do with this movie nor did I personally know any of the actors or any of the cast or crew members for that matter.

I have seen the worst of the worst zombie movies and movies in general. This is a very low budget movie with that in mind this movie was done very well.. Almost too well. My friends and I still quote lines from it and we still get together and watch it when we have our zombie movie get togethers. The acting was OK, the plot was OK and the effects were a little on the cheap side but for a low budget movie and entertainment it really does get much better than this movie.. Keep in mind that it is a low budget cheap cheezy zombie movie. but its funny and fun to watch.. I liked it and will defend it to anyone...

If you wanna she some crap movies check out anything by asylum. Especially that Night of the Dead Leben Tod that is the worst movie ever made.. Chuck and Chance are Spielbergs compared to that crap.
