An under-appreciated gem of campy sci-fi-tinged awe, this directional debut from director Fred Dekker has everything from a busload of frat-guy zombies to an undead killer puppy to an humorous death by lawnmower rampage that foreshadows Peter Jackson’s over-the-top finale to Unimaginative Alive. Virtually unnoticed during its brief theatrical speed, this wildly racy horror-comedy achieved a cult state following its home-video release. This low-budget peril throws alien monsters, axe-wielding killers, flesh-eating zombies, nudity, and drunken fraternity pranks into a blender, spiced with witty one-liners and references to dozens of panic classics.

The result is a satisfying treat that will tickle the tastebuds of panic fans. The film’s nominal protagonists are a pair of randy fraternity pledges who commence a can of worms when they retract a corpse from the campus medical facility and release a horde of space-leeches, which depart to infest the bodies of everyone in notice. The host bodies subsequently become homicidal zombies with a penchant for popping in on unsuspecting sorority girls. The town’s only hope seems to be a hard-boiled ex-cop who has uncovered the secret link between the zombie invasion and a 30-year-old axe-murder case… and who’s also several sandwiches terrified of a picnic. Dekker keeps things animated at a brisk trip thanks to some gross set-pieces,some of which happen so fast they’ll have viewers reaching for the halt button, and clever dialogue, particularly for Atkins (”Girls, the genuine news is your dates are here; the awful news is, they’re listless”), who dives into his crusty character with relish
Not only does director/screenwriter Dekker maintain things inspiring along nicely by offering some racy and bloody thrills, but he also makes some spirited choices with the portrayal of his main characters as well. In addition to offering a social misfit protagonist who remains uninterested in the usual college party scene, the inclusion of a handicapped sidekick who isn’t defined by his disability shows a director unafraid to offer valid, identifiably human characters; a refreshing change of flow compared to the all-too-perfect teens that populated fright films throughout the following decade. Along with character names that offer sly nods to numerous distinguished apprehension directors, Dekker also includes a beyond hard-boiled police detective hilariously cocksure walk provides powerful of the film’s effective gallows humor. Distinct Dekker includes such college fright film mainstays as the obligatory fancy interest and the putrid jock who gets his rocks off humiliating the nerds, but once he turns up the heat during the final act, cinematic clichés choose a backseat to fast-paced zombie head-bursting fun.

Now that i’ve widely spoke my mind, i must turn the table in a violent fashion and yelp this out loud, to the top of my lungs: 11 years for the DVD release of one of the funniest, most moving campy B-flicks of the 80`s? An extended director’s chop in Blu-ray only covers 50% of the misery we’ve suffered over the years, trying to score a decent version of this deliriously spicy classic.
NIGHT OF THE CREEPS is one of the best anxiety films from the 80’s. It influenced so many scare films - Tear for example - and it is shadowy that it has been unavailable for so many years. I have been treasuring a VHS copy all these years and finally I can replace it for a Blu-ray edition.
Oddly enough, this Tri-Star Pictures film was not a success when it was released aid in 1986… but has developed a tall cult following like other panic gems from the decade like NIGHT OF THE COMET and THE RETURN OF THE LIVING Dumb that manage to mix fear with elements from sci-fi.
The legend is quite simple. It starts hilariously abominable as some pygmy aliens in a spaceship acquire rid of an “experiment” after a hilarious hump across the corridors of the ship. Speedy forward some time and we’re on Sorority Row, 1959. A couple of teens is making out in the car. They look a shooting star falling nearby and go witness for it. Interestingly enough, there’s a assassinate on the loose. So the guy goes looking for the shooting star while the girl stays in the car… and what follows is a Shapely moment of tension as the abolish is getting stop to her with an axe…
The guy finds the shooting star set and slugs enter his mouth. Quickly forward AGAIN to 1986 and we’re aid to the Sorority Row (Pledge Week) where everything is about to initiate again…
This film is so stylish as it masterfully blends killing slugs and ZOMBIES.
In fact, it has some of my common lines ever!!!
DETECTIVE “I have gracious news and unpleasant news girls. The respectable news is your dates are here.”
GIRL “What’s the terrible news? “
DETECTIVE “They’re dreary!”
In a nutshell, this is one of those classic alarm films from the 80’s that blends fear and comedy: it has lots of astonishing effects, large makeup, a tall cast and a near-brilliant script. Here you have slugs, zombies, jokes, heads exploding, lots of traipse and a broad performance by ancient actor Wally Taylor.
Also, as a trivia, screenwriter Fred Dekker named his characters Ray CAMERON, Detective LANDIS and Sgt. RAIMI.
Ring a bell?
Recommended if you want a palatable night of screams and laughter.
