Movie 22: 12 Creatures Features (Feature 12: The Creeping Terror)

God in Heaven it’s finally over. I have at least two more terrible box set collections I’m now dreading. This was impossibly terrible. Not even a so bad it’s good terrible, this is just bad.

It was shot very clearly with no sound and dubbed later because the film depends almost entirely on narration and music and the most minimal of dialogue. It involves a group of alien slug creatures terrorizing a town.

Honestly the creature (while cheap looking) isn’t terrible. There have been far worse 50’s B-Film monsters (Robot Monster for example). But otherwise this one of the first of these 12 films.

Since I watched all 12 here’s my ranking of the films:

Crater Lake Monster Attack of the Monsters Snowbeast Horror High Horrors of Spider Island Gamera the Invincible The Wasp Women Horror of the Zombies The Creeping Terror Bride of the Gorilla Land of the Minotaur Kong Island

I’m sure some people would rank Land of the Minotaur and Horror of the Zombies higher but they simply didn’t do it for me.

Looking ahead I’ve got two more pieces of garbage I gotta watch this week and one science fiction masterpiece. So look forward to that!
