Bear with me I don't know to much about this movie but i will try to explan it. Six young people on a triple date one being a blind date find Creature eggs then find out little monsters are running around. The creatures are never called Beasties but unlike hobgoblins they appear early in the movie and the woman on the cover is in the movie even if it's for a few minutes. There's a subplot with an underground satanic gang besides a two minute scene they don't show up it till 30 Min's in then the whole movie becomes about the teens fighting the evil gang and it's leader you almost forget about beasties. It's a bad movie thats hard to follow it's story lines can't go together it reminds of hobgoblin's on how cheesy it is.

When an extraterrestrial craft lands in that remote part of the forest where teenagers often go to hump, carnage begins expediently as slimy hand puppets emerge from the ship, hungry for human flesh. There's also some ridiculous sub-plotting about a cabal of barbarian punk-rocker types on a violent mission of evil ordained by an all-powerful overlord.BEASTIES was apparently distributed with a scant 200 VHS copies available, and I gloat with pride for owning one of them. One could possibly compare this film to the heinous WINTERBEAST in quality(or lacking thereof), but truthfully, BEASTIES represents a very strange minor league of its own. Not a solitary frame of this incredible work of short-bus genius bears even the faintest hallmarks of sapien-level brain capacities...BEASTIES is pure and natural bog sludge that should make even the most humorless curmudgeon crack a smile.Recommended.

When I picked up the box of "Beasties" in a Mom-and-Pop video store, I read that it was making this out to be a cross between "Back to the Future" and "Gremlins". I knew immediately not to fall for this, but upon renting the movie I found that this is partially true. The problem here is that this is without a fun feel, and it's not scary either. I actually do want to recommend this for a few reasons, but I'm not sure who I'd be recommending it to. Odd, huh? Anyway, it has a fairly interesting premise, and some surprises that I wouldn't want to spoil. Still, my favorite part was the club scene with a performance by a really cool-sounding deathrock band. Hey, if you're bored and dig cheap horror movies, what do you have to lose other than a couple bucks for the price of a rental?

For those who have sought long and far for the worst movies ever made, may Beasties soon find them. It has awful muppets combined with even worse Egyptian gang war gods, not too mention some of the worst original synthesizer music in a film. This may very well be one of the top five films ever made. Don't blame me if you become a worse person for viewing it or if your VCR bursts into flames when inserting the tape. And don't go parking when you are out of gas, or the Beasties may get you!!!
