David Brailsford This movie tries it has some interesting elements but the movie comes together as a mess of elements that don't work to make a cohesive story and some elements are so outright dumb that unless you were under the influence of some potent controlled substances would make you question "who could have filmed this and thought this was good?" It was hammy and fun at points though, it had some good mindless violence. The ending and some of the more tedious dumb scenes (like the job the main character had at the car wash place) just made the movie longer for no reason. The movie could have benefited from some scene trimming. The ending attempted to be a twist ending but just ended up being dumb and weird.

jaezelaya I wanted to like Creep Van a bit more than I actually ended up liking it by the time this movie was done. In the beginning, it was very promising, a van that automatically creeps you, it almost gave a Christine vibe. It probably would have been more interesting if it went that route as there is a very human driver behind the wheel. So we have a psycho and we have Campbell, a bit unlucky in the job department but still manages to find work, bless his heart. Campbell likes co-worker Amy (she of the strong face) and they seem to hit it off, but Campbell needs a car. His call to a guy selling a van sets off a chain of events no one sees coming.No one sees it coming......because there is no logic to it. I recommend that those who haven't watched Creep Van to do so only to simply form your own opinion, but quite honestly, Creep Van is a movie that is less tongue-in-cheek than it is annoying at times. No rhyme, no reason, no "OMG, its you!" at the end. The gore effects are, for the most part, decent. There are characters you might want to like, but they don't stay long. All in all, Creep Van is a selection for when you have nothing else to watch. It is low budget, plot wanting, a bit lacking in the acting department, but as a fan of all things horror, I give it 5 out of 10. What's next, Scott McKinlay? Ready to try again?

bob_meg The number of ultra-ultra-low-low beginner's school films seems to be increasing daily (thank you digital and thank you RED). Unfortunately they also should come with a disclaimer for consumers who want to be assured that what they're about to watch contains some level of competence.While Creep Van doesn't really rank into that stinking dogpile, it comes a bit too close for comfort at times. I haven't seen "Gag" --- though it does sound pretty horrific, and not in a good way --- but at least "Creep Van" is reasonably well made in the technical sense.Creep Van follows in the mold of Vehicular Homicide stuff from the '70s like The Car, only there's a very real psycho inside this titular rolling weapon. Whether that's good or not --- well --- I couldn't tell you, because there's no real reason given why the "creep" is slaughtering so many people with so many intricate and (sometimes) amusing deathtraps. Not that psychos NEED a reason to kill people, but if they don't, the filmmaker should at least give us something interesting to watch. That's not the pairing of Brian Kolodziej and Amy Wahrell who, though likable, don't have enough acting chops combined to chew through creamed corn. And isn't Wahrell a bit OLD for Kolodziej? I thought she was his mom half the time. But, I digress....The main problem with this movie is, well...it doesn't know what it wants to be, exactly. The tone is all over the place: it wants to be a creepy, somber '80s throwback one minute, then a Fangoria face-ripped-off fright fest (but without one genuine shock, ironically), and then a wacky-as-all-get-out Troma schlocker. It actually does succeed in places, but the overall effect is jarringly uneven. It just doesn't have the sheen of a well-made film...even the stuff coming out of Troma these days is miles ahead in overall production quality.Never thought I'd be referring to Troma as a mainstream standard but...in the context of Creep Van, it is.

trashgang I have seen Gag (2006) from director Scott W. Mckinlay and it wasn't my thing. It has taken a while, 6 years, before he made another full feature. It's a different flick than Gag, Creep Van moves away from torture porn towards B-movie slasher. The effects used are really well done for a low budget but the acting wasn't always convincing. I guess it's a bit due the script not always being that good. When the killer appears the flick is okay and delivers for the horror fans and even the gorehounds. But it is in between that it sometimes become boring or even laughable.The cameo from Lloyd Kaufman is funny because he's searching for Mr Kaufman. If you are into bad slashers from the seventies and even eighties then this is your thing, bad story, gruesome killings, gratuitous nudity.Gore 2,5/5 Nudity 1,5/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
