Film Dope


Night of the Creeps

1986

Fred Dekker
Director
TriStar Pictures
Studio

Alien slugs wreak havoc on a college campus.

One of my favorite movies of the 80s, a fun horror film that, like Dekker's Monster Squad, knows all the genre tropes (both classic and slasher) and has fun playing with them. The leads are likable and believable, but above all this is Tom Atkins' film. He gets the chance all character actors would love to have and knocks it out of the park.

Thrill me. . .

Note: All the frat boys and sorority sisters are named in the cast, but only a couple are referred to by name in dialogue, making them near impossible to accurately identify. Same thing goes for the Beta Zombies.
