I LOVE a good low-budget horror movie. Thing is it needs to be good. Here, we have a movie that looks like it has a budget of $250 and yes that includes the FX.

We enter the story as a group of people have been shipwrecked and so they drift aimlessly through the water in their lifeboat named Obelisk. Soon they hit land after the credits end and due to brutal lighting what looks like angry, spoiled sausages attack them in the night. By first light we see they actually look like ravenous, haunted dolls. Time to try and stay alive.

The music by John P. Mozzi is actually quite effective and way better than this movie deserves. Super bad acting by almost everyone in this movie.

Might be good to sit down with a good friend with some of your favourite beers and/or whiskey and get some good laughs. Otherwise steer clear.

Remember that creepy little Zuni warrior doll that was after Karen Black in the TV-movie TRILOGY OF TERROR? This demented low-budget quickie offers a whole army of them! The one in TRILOGY was supposed to be a wooden carving that came to life, but the ones here are supposed to pass for flesh and blood monsters even though they're ridiculously immobile and nothing about them looks organic. The "beast creatures" look like crude homemade plastic imitations of the TRILOGY doll, painted flat red with no detailing and big plastic eyes that light up. Set in 1920 for no apparent reason, ATTACK has a lifeboat with nine shipwreck survivors (of course we don't see the shipwreck) drift to an uncharted island which has an unexplained pond filled with flesh-melting acid, another pond filled with safe drinking water (and fish), and a tribe of 10-inch-tall Beast Creatures. The carnivorous action figures are very aggresive and jump down out of trees to attack. The puppeteering is terrible and consists largely of off-camera assistants throwing the dolls at screaming actors. When the dolls need to move, you only see the upper halves of them like the Muppets. The only time you see their whole bodies is when stagehands have helpfully placed them in trees to make it look like they're peering down at their prey. None of the amateur actors are very good but they do seem to be giving it their best shot, running and screaming like crazy when the little guys attack. And, to be fair, there are some honest attempts at characterization. None of the protagonists are very bright. They seldom think to arm themselves with big sticks or branches, even after they know the little guys are dangerous flesh-eaters and that they go down pretty easily. One whack with a branch will send a beast creature sailing off into the bushes or smacking comically into a tree. Some of the dialogue is so bad it's hysterical, as when a character watches a guy fall onto a sharpened spike, stagger around screaming in pain, break the end of the spike off where it sticks out of his chest, scream some more, and then collapse, the other end still protruding from his back, and concludes that "He never knew what hit him." Another guy, a master of understatement, looks at a man who has been turned by the acid pit into a completely fleshless, clean white skeleton and calmly informs his companions, "There's nothing we can do for him now." Can't argue with that logic. Perhaps the strangest thing about the script is its total absence of any discussion of what the creatures might be, how they got there, or anything else about which normal people might wonder. Instead the actors say the same things to each other over and over, reciting the usual stranded-in-an-inhospitable-place cliches. At one point we see dozens of the critters gathered around a big carved idol that resembles a gigantic saltine cracker with a face. Nobody says anything about it and it's never mentioned again. So are the beast creatures supposed to be part human? Some species of mutant monkey or cat? Demons from hell? Aliens from space? Nobody in the film ever even speculates, preferring instead to keep yammering on about the need to get to higher ground, although I was never sure why. A couple of survivors are rescued at the end and their rescuers don't seem any more impressed by the discovery of an unknown and very strange new species than the other dullards were. With no real story to tell, the movie usually focuses on long, boring scenes of the characters walking around between the trees, punctuated by the frenzied, violent monster attacks. It isn't good cinema but it would make an excellent party tape to watch with friends. They should have stuck with the more mature shooting title of HELL ISLAND.

A kinetic, out-if-the-ordinary skid-row monster movie that turned out good against all odds(my use of the word "good", mind you, being pertinent to entertainment value as opposed to aesthetic quality). The title terrors are a tribe of screaming, white-eyed, 10"(that's right...ten inch) toothy trolls with long hair, which besiege their prey like a school of spear-wielding land-piranha. Potential victims-to-be are a handful of shipwreck survivors washed ashore on an uncharted tropical island inhabited by the "beast creatures". These unfortunate souls have more to contend with than the monsters alone, namely rivers of acid, hunger, thirst, and each other.

A perfect example of a no-budget monster movie that managed to get it right...I'd recommend this over the bulk of widely recognized titles any day, and with little hesitation.

6/10...fun stuff.

Totally insane trash movie where a several shipwreck suvivors on a desert island faces strange creatures likes little puppets with black hair who attack them at night and day, this devil puppets are quite well done and disappoint no one as entertainment only, they certainly choose a desert island to saves money of course and this will amuzing everyone, whatever the result after watching deserve a look for those who loves trash movies!! a bit o criticism could be a lack of nudity scenes as appears in this kind of production!!

Resume:

First watch: 2018 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD-R / Rating: 4

With a title like ATTACK OF THE BEAST CRETURES you're certainly not expecting CITIZEN KANE but even with very low expectations this is a dreadful movie and what let's it down is the technical aspects . " What technical aspects Theo? " Exactly . From the very opening frame of the film you know you're going to be watching a shipwreck of a movie

In fact everything about the film can be summed up by the opening . We have a totally inappropriate soundtrack played on a synthesiser . Michael Mann's THE KEEP also a bizarre soundtrack that feels it belongs to an entirely different movie but at least that film redeemed itself by some great cinematography and camera work . Here it seems the director took his mates on a day trip to the beach . Everything about the movie screams amateur film maker

Perhaps the most noticeable thing is the acting or rather the lack of it . I genuinely thought this was an Italian movie badly dubbed in to English . It's certain ly got that vibe where any emotion or inflexion in the voices is totally negated by other people calmly talking their lines as in " Oh no I'm being attacked by a horde of monsters mercy me " in the same sort of tone you'd expect someone to read out their laundry list

The only saving grace - and I'm being totally charitable here - is the eponymous beast creatures themselves . It would be very easy for the director to get a bunch of extras to don wigs and pretend to be flesh eating monsters . Here we have what effectively fairground gonks that attack the cast and who are less wooden than the cast which means this movie gets three out of ten instead of two out of ten

If you are really into digging up and enjoying the most trashy and bizarre movies ever, Attack of the Beast Creatures belongs on your watch list: the gore is not that bad, the soundtrack is a fine one too (those psychedelic synth sounds a la Italian horror movies of the 70s), but the party starts after those mini-killer tribe gets into the game. The introduction till our group of survivors lands on the island is really no good or interesting, but after setting food on that cursed soil the movie gets in gear. I really think that the true connoisseur of the art of horror should have seen those blood-thirsty and flesh-hungry little beast creatures once in his life - even if you just screen for the good scenes thru the movie: those little creepy monsters are just too funny, on top, some of them are swinging from vine to vine like Tarzan... What else? This is a real trash movie, don't expect any good acting or production, but if you can enjoy a horror movie just because of the idea it's based on, and you can stomach a good shot of cheesiness and badness, Attack of the Beast Creatures may give you an entertaining ride. Last note: I can understand every rate, be it a 1 or 10, so I decided to give this one a rate of 5.

What an endearing mess!! Summed up as succinctly as possible, ATTACK OF THE BEAST CREATURES concerns itself with a group of shipwreck victims who find themselves stranded on an uncharted island where they are set upon by a bunch of demonic alien Cabbige Patch dolls made up to look like Marilyn Manson. One by one the survivors are torn at, eaten, and reduced to clean-picked skeletons before they can effect any kind of rescue or escape plan. The Beast Creatures are fierce, hungry, innumerable and can seem to spawn anew whenever suffering losses: For every Beast Creature the humans whack like pulpy, exploding softballs as they fling themselves through the air, three more take their place. Eventually they are whittled down to the surviving love interest couple, who then ...

But why give away the ending? That and seeing the Beast Creatures up close & in action are the main reasons to bother with this cleverly constructed little home movie/grade Z creature feature howler made by a bunch of people who went on to do nothing more in the film industry. Aside from producer turned actor turned producer again, the late Jim Brown (III), who's other cinematic endeavors consist of such revealingly titled gems as DELTA FORCE COMMANDO, it's imaginatively titled followup DELTA FORCE COMMANDO II, BEHEADED 1000 and my favorite, the Viking horror saga BERSERKER. The world lost a true visionary with his passing, and this might stand as his greatest accomplishment.

One of the things that I instantly admired about the film was it's willingness to completely shred any artifice of what my be called "suspension of disbelief" and do so with such enthusiasm that you sort of forgive the film to being so ineptly executed: Visible puppeteer limbs, guide wires and thrown Beast Creatures flying in random trajectories take second place to the movie's gleeful abandoning of itself to the hazards of competence. Peter Jackson's team of 3d modelers may have worked gee, days on end to create King Kong for PETER JACKSON'S KING KONG: A PETER JACKSON MOVIE BY PETER JACKSON, but the effort in creating an actual presence on screen pales to the sight of a teeming swarm of these hand puppet Beasties clawing at the cocktail dress of the film's shapely heroine. I believe in them even though it is all fake, corny, slipshod and nappy lookin', not just because they are puppets which take up physical space (ahem, Yoda?), but because the filmmakers and cast believe in them and communicate their belief with frantic, frenzied conviction.

But like a lot of other horror thrillers the question remains, is it a good movie? Well no, quite frankly. But the film was made in such a manner that it defies the usual standards by which one judges film as an art. It's not that it wallows about in the gutter dwelling on gore or whatever, it's that the film doesn't care about those standards, has a story to tell and gets about doing so without ever once making any apologies for being just a stupid, tacky, frenetic little ball of fun. And that's what the Beast Creatures are too: The movie defines it's own reality, sticks to it and doesn't bother worrying about what anyone else is going to think critically. In fact to consider such a film on actual critical terms is a waste of time -- Either you enjoy it or you don't, standing around haggling about the merits or weaknesses after wards would miss the point of the film which is just to be entertaining.

6/10 for getting the job done.

My video review can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDmAArj-ZKA Attack of the Beast Creatures is a "good bad movie." The flick is a lot of fun to watch in spite of the bad acting or the absurd looking "beast creatures."

You would think a movie where the cast is simply wondering around in the woods, would get boring, but for some reason, the whole thing works. I think one of the reasons this is so, is because the script is a simple one. You can't lose with a simple survival story.

I suggest watching this movie and then watching a movie like "Evil in the Woods (1986)." You will see the juxtaposition of two indie flicks where one works, thriving on a simple, straight forward script and another script that attempts to Jam three different stories into one movie, tries to jam bigfoot, witches, and zombies (?) into one film. You will see the difference between a "good bad movie" and a movie that simply fails on all levels, starting with a script that should have been heavily re-edited or scrapped altogether.

This was a real treat. The film starts off a little slow, so hang in there because once the action starts you will probably choke on your beer or mountain dew out of sheer hysterical laughter. In my journey through "grade Z" movies, it is movies like Attack of the Beast Creatures that make it all worth it. This is the type of movie that I put on that "special shelf" for the friends that don't want to have to think or invest much of themselves into a film. For those friends who you would like to impress with a movie so bad, that it is just beautiful. This was made at a time when bad films were at least still shot on film. Now days "grade z" movies are shot on daddy's new digital camcorder, so they don't have any real cinematic quality. This has some cinematic quality...OK, cinematic quality in a really "grade z" kind of way.

If you want Freddie Kreuger, Jason, or The Ring Meets the Grudge Part 4, then go to your local Blockbuster. Leave the trash to us trashmongers...I love it!

Despite what you may have read or heard, this silly low-budgeter is a great rental despite whatever shortcomings it has. However, you might have an impossible time trying to track down a tape because this has been out of circulation for years.

Filmed in 1983, this concerns the struggle for survival among a small group of shipwreck survivors on a secluded island (really inland Fairfield, Connecticut, where this was filmed). A seemingly innocent water stream is actually full of acid as one poor parched man soon finds out, and worse, the island is home a cult of small, killer, TRILOGY OF TERROR-style dolls. The dolls have red faces, long black hair, glow-in-the-dark eyes and sharp pointy teeth. Their jaws open so they can screech and their arms move up and down when they scurry through the woods, but other than that, they are hilariously immobile.

I don't want to get too much into the story, but some of the assault/ambush techniques devised by the little critters are very amusing and the low-level POV camera-work and eerie music score service the entertaining story very well. This film is a blast!

Score: 6 out of 10

This is a monster movie about shipwreck survivors attacked by little goofy monsters.

It is a complete throwback to the 1970s Hitler idealism decade, when only the blondest woman and the darkest man are allowed to survive, whether by Nature or God, doesn't matter, so long as the survivors are only Hitler and Eva.

You can tell that's what this is early on, as everything is contrived for the cliché.

I can forgive the low budget, stupid looking creatures. That's no big deal, and maybe even the horrid acting, but not the terrible script, and definitely not the stereotypical Hitler idealism. I've known many brunettes who have been killed, and there is no doubt that sick movies like this inspired people to believe that it was okay. The makers of sick movies like this are as much to blame as the evil they purposely cause.

IMDb has a history of Hitler idealists, so this goes over well with the many nazi IMDb posters, but not with guys. It is a boring, dull world without brunettes for guys.

There just isn't anything fun about this trash. One of the 100 worst movies ever made, on any list of any sane man who has seen it.

After their ship sinks "somewhere in the North Atlantic", the survivors make their way to a seemingly deserted island. Little do they know, they're not alone. Astonishingly, the group splits up, heading off in several different directions. This proves to be... unwise.

ATTACK OF THE BEAST CREATURES, in addition to having one of the greatest titles ever, is low-budget, imbecilic terror at its zenith! It wastes no time at all in becoming as ridiculous as possible! The lack of any funding is an asset, allowing for the title "monsters" to emerge, hitting us like hickory planks to our faces! You'll sit wide-eyed and slack-jawed as these killer dolls begin their onslaught!

The cast, though akin to human furniture, is fun to watch, especially when they die!

AWESOME SCENES: #1- A man dunks his head into a stream for a drink, and comes up a bit... lightheaded! #2- Another man is completely relieved of his skinsuit!

I want a BEAST CREATURE doll for my birthday! You will too!...

One of my friends asked me if I had seen the 1985 movie "Attack of the Beast Creatures", and I actually hadn't. I remember having seen a clip from it somewhere, sometime, but I've never actually heard the movie. So I tracked it down and sat down to watch it.

I have to admit that I wasn't really harboring much of any expectations to writer Robert A. Hutton and director Michael Stanley with this 1985 movie, because the clip I had seen before watching the movie seemed amazingly low budget and with laughable special effects.

And that was exactly what "Attack of the Beast Creatures" turned out to be. The script in the movie was so simplistic that you could essentially watch the first and last 10 minutes of the movie and not have missed out on anything. Yeah, everything in between was just filler. There was nothing resembling any deeply thought through storyline or plot here; only that it was about some people marooned on a hostile island with some horribly inanimate murderous puppets.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Attack of the Beast Creatures". But given the lack of a proper storyline, then you're not in for any grand or memorable acting performances.

Visually then "Attack of the Beast Creatures" was pretty terrible. Especially the creature design. I am sure that in idea and concept stage that these strange diminutive carnivorous humanoids were interesting, but seeing poorly painted and worse yet animated puppets on the screen just didn't make for a particularly thrilling horror movie.

"Attack of the Beast Creatures" is the type of guilty pleasure movies that you sit down to watch only because it is so bad that it has to be seen to believe.

My rating of "Attack of the Beast Creatures" lands on a three out of ten stars.

I have in the past seen terrible reviews of this flick, I could never figure out why. I can see via other comments that this movie isn't as hated as I once thought. True the budget is almost non-existent, but considering the results, the director is a genius. The film is generally creepy throughout, some of the scenes don't work...But surprisingly most do. You will be entertained, and really who could ask for more than that?

A group of ship wreck survivors lands on an island in the middle of no where. Much of the islands water will cause their flesh to dissolve!! A tribe of creepy, hungry little folk inhabit this island...And want to devour the survivors! Not a good day. Get this movie if you can and give it a watch. 7/10

The plot of "Attack of the Beast Creatures" is relatively simple:a group of castaways land on a mysterious and deserted North Atlantic island with trees and deadly acidic water.The island is inhabited by flesh-eating critters that promptly start killing survivors.Badly acted and amateurish horror flick that is strangely compelling and entertaining.There is a lot of walking in "Attack of the Beast Creatures",so patience is needed.The dialogue is outrageously banal,but the attack scenes are hilarious and bloody enough.The tiny wooden dolls are cute and they provide plenty of campy entertainment.They hide in the trees and run through grass like crazy in pursuit of their screaming victims.Nasty little natives,I kid ya not.Give this obscure little creature feature a look.8 out of 10.

Dolls?! No beast creatures. An island tribe. Looking no bigger 30cms high. With long black stringy hair. Sharp pointy teeth. Howling screech and growl. Piercing eyes that glow in the dark. Persistently quick off the mark and these nasty critters love the taste of human flesh. Tasty! Well a group of survivors of a sunken cruise ship soon find out that had a better chance taking the odds of staying alive on the water, than what they encounter on an uncharted tropical island. "Attack of the Beast Creatures" is a limited on the cheap production that feels at times like nothing more than a made on the spot home movie, but it's charmingly fun and rather unpleasant in details. The odd story is slight and considerably basic with a stretched out feel… it's a survival outing. Wander here, get attack. Wander there, a nasty surprise waits. Aimlessly wander, get attack… but despite the repetitiveness and slow-pace it's actually well catered for its z-budget. The punchy attacks are quite savage and hysterical, if a little too drawn out that it can be humorous watching the actors struggle about fighting off motionless dolls gnawing away at them. But the crusty make-up FX creates some unbearable images of cheap gore (just watch what acid can do to you!) and creatures (which do look great!) are extremely well presented and photographed when in action. Plenty of lurking POV shots. Sometimes the pacing would stall with padded out dialogue exchanges (where the characters would open up to each other), but the amateurishly raw performances (falling on the bland side, but still admirably committed) don't invoke all that much from the stilted script. As for that whimsical electronic music score, it might have been schlock but it really did grow on me during the darker moments. The locations that were used (Fairfield, Connecticut masquerading as an island) makes good use of the situation, cementing a remote and disorienting spell with its thick, rugged terrain that simply saps the life of the survivors. Defects aside, it's enjoyable minimalist film-making worthy of its cult status.

Bunch of shipwrecked travelers - who all left their acting capacities aboard the sinking ship - wash ashore an unmapped island that isn't entirely kosher. First and foremost, it's a tropical island even though they were supposed to float in the North Atlantic. Secondly, the still water on this island causes people to dissolve painfully! Quite an alarming little fact, if you ask me, but the assembly of middle-aged castaway survivors remain pretty damn calm at the sight of one of their buddies bloodily melting away in a puddle of water. "Well, I guess this means we all have to be a lot more careful from now on". That's it? Thanks for the grief and compassion, dude! Anyway, it's not over yet, as the island appears to be inhabited by some sort of creatures that can eat all the flesh off a human body and leave only a clean skeleton in just an hour of time. Overnight, the group gets virulently attacked by an army of tiny, flashy-eyed satanic creatures (very reminiscent to Karen Black's Zuni doll in "Trilogy of Terror") and "Attack of the Beast Creatures" promptly becomes one of the silliest, cheesiest and most ludicrous horror flicks of the entire 80's decade. These things are so cute! How they stampede, the squeaky sounds they produce, their admirably sharp little set of teeth … I swear, if you see one, you'll want to have a toy version to decorate your living room with!

You can say a lot about "Attack of the Beast Creatures", but definitely not that it's boring! One out-and-out crazy sequence follows the other in a massively fast-paced filming style and you don't even have too much time to contemplate about the stupidity factor or to expect any sort of explanation. The film properly follows Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians principle; meaning the characters kick the bucket one by one and in a structured and orderly fashion. The group also contains all the required stereotypes, like the selfish bastard, the hysterical broad, the young lovers and the fat bloke sacrificing himself. There's a joyous sequence paying tribute to Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" when one of the characters wanders around and the critters surrounding her in up in the trees gradually increase in number. First there's just one specimen scrutinizing her. Then three. Then seven. Then when she looks up there are literally dozens of little demons watching down on her. "Attack of the Beast Creatures" may not exactly be a masterpiece of film-making, but it's tremendously enjoyable 80's baloney with loads of gore, outrageous outbursts of laughter, inane dialogs and not the slightest bit of good taste.

Attack Of The Beast Creatures, is a GEM of a movie. Considering the extreme low budget, the film works very well. The Beast creatures are a total trip. Little red demons with long black hair, that bite hard and run fast! This movie is fun from start to finish, the attack sequences are very funny and scary at the same time. I promise you this movie will NOT DISSAPOINT. The film has it's share of Gore but is not a total Gore Fest either. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS MOVIE. 100% pure entertainment , LOW BUDGET STYLE!!! A hidden classic!

Greetings And Salutations, and welcome to my review of Attack Of The Beast Creatures; here's the breakdown of my ratings:

Story: 1.00 Direction: 1.25 Pace: 1.25 Acting: 1.25 Enjoyment: 1.25

TOTAL: 6.00 out of 10.00.

OMG! Well, that surprised me. I was planning on telling you that Beast Creatures is a terrible movie with a high entertainment factor. But my cumulative scoring brings it out higher than expected.

Well, I know it's not down to the story, which is pretty simple, to say the least. Robert Hutton gives us the tale of shipwrecked passengers on a deserted island that, unfortunately for our survivors, isn't deserted. We join them as their ship sinks and then spend a few minutes onboard the lifeboat before the land is sighted. It's just enough time to get the gist that this group will not get along well. In fact, it's their characterisations, individualities, and arguments which drive the storyline. From the moment they set foot on the island, it's all about their survival: And the chief factor in their continued existence is the ability to work together and look out for one another. Luckily for us, the viewer, Hutton creates some credible and robust characters. And, since the story lacks substance, their friction and exploits make up for it. And will keep you entertained.

Though it won't be as amusing as the moment The Beast Creatures arrive. Remember, this is a B-Movie. The little ankle biters resemble Morph on steroids and PCP. They are little clay, pop-eyed, and wild-haired pygmy pygmies: Standing about a foot tall. I have to say the special effects team may have been strapped for cash, hence their appearance (Blue Peter's, "Here's One I Made Earlier"), but they really make the buggers move. Remarkably, the running scenes are incredible, particularly considering the low budget, even though their tiny monsters are giggle-inducing. And some credit must fall on the director also for his composition of these scenes. Shooting them from their level not only hid the running mechanisms (sometimes) but added to the believability that clay models can Usain Bolt when required. Don't get me wrong, the scenes are unintentionally as funny as a Lee Evans video on fast-forward. But this unintended comedy helps place The Beast Creatures in that unique and warm place of your heart where only the good bad B-Movies hibernate. And they snuggle in further when we watch the performers trying to sell the teeny-weeny earth creatures' attacks. They dance around the forest with them clutched tightly to their breasts and necks. It's beautiful insanity at its best. This movie sure looked like it was lots of fun to make. Though Michael Stanley has a few innovative scenes in the picture, his directorial style is overall conventional. Many sections called for a little more imagination or crispness in composition. And though Stanley tries to add excitement and tension by adopting a varied tempo, it's not quite enough, and the unplanned humour doesn't help.

The cast is surprisingly okay. All too often in budget movies, the performers are one of the first elements to feel the pinch. But, on the whole, the actors and actresses range on a slight scale, from average to above average. Only a couple of times did they slip into monotony or woodenness, which isn't bad, as some of today's stars stay in that zone throughout their movies' runtime.

Attack Of The Beast Creatures is for lovers of B-Movies. If you're more into your Conjurings, Wrong Turn, or Invisible Man, this will not be the movie for you. But if you adore cheap and tacky flicks made with love, come on and dive in. Just beware of the acid pools.

Hey, while you're awaiting rescue off this abominable island, you can read my IMDb list - Absolute Horror and see where I ranked Attack Of The Beast Creatures.

Take Care & Stay Well.
