Savage Creatures

This film was so bad it annoys me that i had to give it 1 star in order to write this.

There is not one thing about this film that i can have a positive spin put on it. Everything about it was so bad, from the directing, acting script, editing and story. In particular the acting , the two that played the vampires lol talk about cringe worthy. Then there are the special fx. I mean come on! In an age where the average person can create movie quality special fx on a home computer, this was just laughable.

All i can say is that i sincerely hope that all involved are never allowed anywhere near so much as a camera phone ever again.

If you are entertained by cannibalism. That is none of my business. Personally I find it gross. Vampires and aliens ok but I never got that far. Switched it off and went to bed.

First off, this movie starts slow. And it's more fun than serious.

Second, read the storyline. Or at least read the taglines. If you can handle all of those things, sometimes in detail, (especially cannibals) you're golden.

The depictions of the Holy roller style or ultra weird Christian religion is not favorable, the special effects are so-so to good, and it might benefit with a cut of the first ten to 20 minutes.

But this is an indy film. If you're forgiving, especially once you get into it, it's rather fun and irreverent and I really like the protagonists. The scenery is nice, the camerawork is good, and the idea strange, unusual, and amusing.

If you can get past the fact that this is a B movie with some disturbing characters, you'll love it. If not, move on.

No pun intended - I was actually looking for a different movie with a similar title. A French production I think - anyway back to this very low budget production ... which tries to make up for the lack of money (and acting talent mostly) by flooding the place ... well the script that is. There are quite a lot of characters and quite a lot of twists and turns ... it's kind of eating itself - if you catch my drift ... or is it grift? No just kidding of course.

If you suspend your disbelief and just have fun with movies that are done with a certain amount of money (or none at all) and you cherish that ... well you will have fun ... and I mean even before you see the blooper (reel) during the credits ... a couple of scenes of stuff that went wrong. Really cute and funny.

It takes a little while to realise this film isn't to be taken too seriously, but if you allow for the ludicrous plot, it is certainly worth watching. It begins with a bit of misdirection: a woman and her son have kidnapped a young woman; taking her home, they murder her, chop her up, and...yes, they're cannibals. Shortly, they see two teenage girls/young women walking alongside the main road and offer them a lift. Thinking they have found two for the price of one, they take them home, drug them, and while mother goes shopping, son is left to prepare them for the freezer. He puts the first one in the bath and chops off one of her hands. And this is where the fun begins. They are vampires, four centuries and more old, and, it goes without saying, don't take too kindly to being drugged, much less butchered. But can they save the world from the invading aliens who are turning the locals into zombies? What do you think?
