Blobbo X @Blobbo 07/02/2024 That Blobbo cousin Mort in monster costume. His breakout role, some say, if him could only break out of costume. See more 04/07/2020 Memorable! A true classic. It should be seen and seen again. The philosophical, psychological, design subtleties, literary allusions, cinematography ... I could go on. If you are into silent B&W films, long thoughtful interludes, and profound logic, this film has it all. It ends far too soon. It could have been as good as Plan 9 if it hadn't been made. See more 10/02/2019 A voiceover narration which continues for the duration of the film is the only thing which keeps this mess together in a somewhat coherent fashion. While there are some wholesome messages present in this Z-film, most of it relies on common tropes as the plant-slug-alien-monster hungrily feasts upon the residents of this small town. The creature is impervious to any assaults the local police, army men, and townsfolk offer. Terrible acting, mediocre cinematography (appears to be several different film types pieced together, though), and most of the dialogue is over-dubbed. As a whole, its overt terribleness makes me like it more than I should. Unintentionally hilarious. See more 06/24/2018 Oh good lord. This film. The Creeping Terror (which like many terrible films I've seen, I first saw on MST3K) is just BAD. However its a so-bad-its-good film. The dialogue is laughable, characters are stupid, we have a monster made out of carpets (not kidding), and is just so enjoyable. Not much more to explain, just watch it. You'll have a fun time. See more 12/10/2016 In the fim, two aliens arrive in a flying saucer. They are there to eat humans, to see there weaknesses(which we don't find out until the end), so aliens can plan an invasion. One of them stays in the saucer for some reason, while the other roams the counry side devouring people too stupid to run away, for example a young mother, a grand-father and grand-son, a cop( who didn't even have to die, but went too close to the giant throw rugs in the saucer, who couldn't even hurt him, as they were strapped in, but whatever), a couple making love,(which had the only person in the film smart enough to run away, BTW), and an entire dance hall, with what I assume was prom going on at, even though it was noon. There, also was a piano there that was trying to be scary, but.. Then the thing devoured a whole group of Hippies, who were just too high to scream. The it went to Lover's lane, where it flipped over a car that literally just came from a junkyard, as it had no tires, huge dents and graffiti on it. It then proceeded to take down a whole group of ARMED soldiers, but was then shot to death by Vic Savage. Then the other finally came out, and somebody ran into it, but not before half devouring some douchebag doctor I didn't care about. Without the extra scenes of the giant penis looking thing with a vagina head eating people, the film would have had a run time of seven minutes The review: I was overcome with HORROR watching a rug devouring several retarded hillbillys who lived in a nuclear gas testing area, as that is the only place in the world where would only stand there, looking shocked, as an alien tarp-pipe -cleaner contraption devours them whole, through a vagina in its neck. But who knows, maybe i'm wrong, and these people were just standing there, trying to comprehend why the HELL they agreed to be in that movie, and why the thing attacking them looked like looked like a giant mound of mushy broccoli and pipe cleaners, with what appeared to be tennis shoes sticking out from under it. But who knows, maybe the vagina-mouthed rug stopped at a shoe store, to get a nice new pair of kicks, before it went on its murderous rampage, devouring a couple hundred braindead hicks. "But damn," he wrote," they got a star-studded cast to be in it, like the guy who did the sex ed documentaries in the 50s, as he did 95% of the movie's dialogue." He then wrote about how he found the third person dialogue to be hilarious. It was QUITE the scaving review! The acting was also horrendous, as at least twice( in the few moments of actual dialogue) a character was speaking without there lips moving. Also, everyones' scream sounded the same as they were being devoured. Also, you could clearly see arms helping the poor people into the tarp, which the extras steered with the utmost grace of a retarded chimpanzee.The ending was the only good part of the film for two reasons. A. It was finally over. B. The ending, while actually being kinda dumb, was still the smartest part of the film, so Yah! See more 11/19/2016 Terrible, but laughably enjoyable at the same time! I would recommend watching the MST3K version though! Overall the film is terribly directed, incoherent, drab, and the victims are so damn stupid (come on you can run away from this slow-ass carpet alien-thing!). See more Read all reviews
