Awesomely BAD!
1/4 stars

If you are a fan of horror movies, the 80s, 80s horror movies, analog synthesizer soundtracks, or Rusty from the European Vacation movie with Chevy Chase or anything like that you have to see this movie! This type of bad movie doesn't exist anymore. Horror in the new millinium is made by morons with digital cameras and no budget or ability to light a shot properly.

But give "Night of the Creeps" its due. First of all, it is fairly original for a B-movie. Alien slugs that infest the brain and turn you into a zombie may seem like a typical B-movie theme, but it's portrayed in a fairly unique manner. Given the time period of this movie's release, and it's obviously small budget, I'm quite impressed with the special-effects of the alien slugs as they race along the ground throughout the film. They're so simple, that it makes them look realistic and somewhat unnerving. In horror films, it is often the most simple effects that are the most discomforting to the viewer. I put these alien slugs along that line.

I really like Tom Atkins ("Lethal Weapon") as Detective Cameron too. He's the perfect actor for this particular role as the washed-up detective. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately for Tom's career, it seems that he often got type-cast to play the depressed, on-edge characters. Atkins is one of the bonuses in this B-flick.
