Totally insane trash movie where a several shipwreck suvivors on a desert island faces strange creatures likes little puppets with black hair who attack them at night and day,this devil puppets are quite well done and disappoint no one as entertainment only,they certainly choose a desert island to saves money of course and this will amuzing everyone,whatever the result after watching deserve a look for those who loves trash movies!! a bit o criticism could be a lack of nudity scenes as appears in this kind of production!!Resume:First watch: 2018 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD-R / Rating: 4

This is one of those oddball sci-fi/horror low budget gore-fests that were common in the '80's. In some ways, it's actually effective at the scares (such as the camp fire scene), and in other places, it's ripe tripe for some MST3K-type riffing (don't know if they ever did this one, but it would have fit right in on that show).Cruise ships have had their share of problems lately, and apparently it wasn't any different in 1985. A distressed cruise ship drops off passengers into life boats, one of which drifts its way to a harmless looking island. The ship wreck survivors soon find out that the shipwreck was just the beginning of their nightmare. The indigenous locals are not great hosts. They're cannibal pygmies that look scary at night, and hilariously silly in daylight. And they're hungry since it's been a while since their last food supply of ship wrecked cruise ship tourists ran out some time ago. They resemble zombies in their attacks but can dart around much faster. They also have weird faces. And they have an idol; this to me was one of the funniest scenes.It's a battle for survival, complete with a clichéd loud mouth character, questionable acting skills, unwise close-up shots of the pygmies, screaming by pretty girls, and lots of bloodied and mauled victims. The format is a typical "getting picked off one at a time" piece, but works even though it's obvious who's next each time.Very entertaining, whichever way you approach it: as a cheap scares low budget horror flick, or a laugh riot at where the low budget is most obvious.

With a title like ATTACK OF THE BEAST CRETURES you're certainly not expecting CITIZEN KANE but even with very low expectations this is a dreadful movie and what let's it down is the technical aspects . " What technical aspects Theo? " Exactly . From the very opening frame of the film you know you're going to be watching a shipwreck of a movie In fact everything about the film can be summed up by the opening . We have a totally inappropriate soundtrack played on a synthesiser . Michael Mann's THE KEEP also a bizarre soundtrack that feels it belongs to an entirely different movie but at least that film redeemed itself by some great cinematography and camera work . Here it seems the director took his mates on a day trip to the beach . Everything about the movie screams amateur film maker Perhaps the most noticeable thing is the acting or rather the lack of it . I genuinely thought this was an Italian movie badly dubbed in to English . It's certain ly got that vibe where any emotion or inflexion in the voices is totally negated by other people calmly talking their lines as in " Oh no I'm being attacked by a horde of monsters mercy me " in the same sort of tone you'd expect someone to read out their laundry list The only saving grace - and I'm being totally charitable here - is the eponymous beast creatures themselves . It would be very easy for the director to get a bunch of extras to don wigs and pretend to be flesh eating monsters . Here we have what effectively fairground gonks that attack the cast and who are less wooden than the cast which means this movie gets three out of ten instead of two out of ten

Remember the zuni warrior devil doll from Trilogy of Terror? Imagine hundreds of these creatures inhabiting a desert island. A handful of shipwreck survivors end up on the island, and it's almost immediately a pitched battle to see if they can survive against these toothy tiny terrors. Shot in little old Connecticut with an amateur cast and no budget, this drive-in fright flick more than makes up for its shortcomings each time the little monsters attack. They're just puppets, but you wouldn't want to tangle with one, never mind dozens. And they can outrun you. The only thing missing from this '80s camp classic is a nude scene, which should have taken place when the female survivors go for a dip in a pretty little lake. No such luck. But the gore sort of makes up for it.
