    WHAT A MESS!!!!

    If you are going to have a gruesome beast like the one pictured on the cover of the DVD, don't have so many supporting actresses and actors that are pure idiots. The beast was seen here and there and was very vague. It was set in an all girls college, so why was a man the leading actor and the so called hero of everyone. The B in B horror on this one would be bore......Don't like the DVD, so you can buy it from me and see for yourself.......Why did they put this on DVD anyway?

    why you should rent this one

    Okay, so the only reason I rented this flick was because the box at the video store had a cool picture of a monster on the front and the back had some cute chick being terrorized by said monster. But it was entertaining enough. Cheesy acting and a plot that doesn't make a whole lot of sense aren't the only qualities of this movie. It also has a shower scene in an all girls college! What more do you want?

    In conclusion, rent this for a good time. Laugh with your friends at the horribly low-budget explosions, and cheer for the half naked women.

    surprisingly decent

    "Breeders" surprised me very much. Granted, it's extremely low-budget, but the effects were decent, and the creature was fantastic (though appeared to be an Alien/Pumpkinhead combo). I also felt leading actors Todd Jensen and Samantha Janus did a fine job with the material. Not the greatest, but certainly more enjoyable than the average B-grade monster flick. One question, though - why was there suddenly a huge oil refinery near the school? Guess they needed something to so they could have all the explosions.

    C*** title, worse film

    Hopelessly awful B-movie horror flick. Blatantly shot in the UK but featuring lame American accents, it's set in a girl's college (uh-oh) which, needless to say, means there's going to be at least one scene of naked nubiles in the shower - and, oops, there it went. And that's yer lot for the rest of the film, Mister Raincoat. To fill up the rest of the time, there's a rubber monster covered in squelchy goo that appears to want to coat the girlies in marzipan (at least, I _think_ it's marzipan); a not even comically inept but fortunately swiftly-massacred SWAT team; Oliver Tobias as a detective (his presence onscreen is always a sign that you've rented a Turkey) and a final scene in an oil refinery which, despite the efforts of an under-budgeted special effects team, is quite obviously not blowing up. Even the terminally bored/sexually frustrated are advised not to touch this waste of time with a ten-foot pole.

    The irony is, Samantha Janus is a fine comedienne. We can only assume that she did this for the exposure, cause that's what they gave her. Indecent at that.

    My instincts tell me this should have been better.

    What does this film give us? A rather decent looking monster, an all girl college and lots of goo and monster attacks! However, despite all that, it was still rather bad. Granted, it was entertaining in a bad way, but this thing should have been able to get a five or six from me and instead I am giving it a three. It just missed the mark and though it featured copious amounts of girls and goo and police searching the most elaborate basement ever for a college campus it left me thinking it should have been much better.

    The story has a meteorite crashing upon a campus and a girl and monster emerge from it. Then we get a very annoyed head of the college getting the janitor to clean up the mess as the art teacher goes ahead with his class. As far as one can tell, the head of the school, the art teacher and the janitor are the only three people working at this school. Well the monster begins making its move ever so slowly as everyone just wants to wear a piece of the meteorite and sleep with the art teacher and settling for the janitor when art teacher is too busy with attractive blonde girl! Then we get lots of footage of the basement as they try and save space girl and the rest of the missing girls who they do not really try too hard to save and instead elect to just shoot them.

    The film could have been rather decent, but it moves a bit slowly at times wanting to focus on the head police guy thinking the art teacher is guilty of something with virtually no proof. Then there are head scratching times as the art teacher stops the blonde girl from attacking by removing her meteorite piece, but neither of them do this with the girls underground and instead blast away. It is also rather sad an art teacher handles the fight underground with the girls running around attacking, better than the police did with just the one monster!

    So, it is worth a look see and a few good chuckles and I really thought the blonde the art teacher was hooking up with was very attractive reminding me of a girl I had a crush on in high school. Too bad they were unable to make a really good movie as there are too many parts of the story that just do not work or make sense, like what was so awesome about the meteorite that everyone wanted to wear it as a necklace and how would the monster even know they would because it could control people who wore it? Still, lots of goo to go around for everyone!
