The 80's brought us the horror films titled 'Night of the Comet' in 1984,'Night of the Creeps' in 1986, and 'Night of the Demons' in 1988. The movies are not related, despite the similar titles. Of the three, 'Night of the Creeps' is by far the better of the three - but that's not necessarily saying much.
All the stereotypical characters are here: the nerds, the hunks, the bullies, the love interest girl, the ignorant security guards, the silly humor... There's also the scared by a cat cliche. They try so hard to be funny, it's laughable - and that's not funny! The Americans like to laugh when they watch a movie - even horrors (I'll never understand Americans...). Maybe I should lighten up, right, and enjoy a comedy horror. But, if I want to laugh, I'll watch a comedy.
On a positive note, I really enjoyed the bond between friends Chris and J.C. and I enjoyed Chris' character development. The final act delivered some thrills and suspense, and I enjoyed all the chaos. So, wait, is this an alien movie or a zombie movie? Is it sci-fi, comedy, or horror? And you'd better watch out for those slugs...!
'Night of the Creeps' should be viewed lightheartedly, then you might be entertained. This will go down well at a movie night with a bunch of creepy friends...
Would I watch it again? Probably not.
