Night of the Creeps, directed by Fred Dekker, combines elements of sci-fi and slasher flicks, opening with a bizarre prologue and transitioning to college life in the '80s. The film follows the misadventures of Chris and J.C. as they attempt to impress a sorority and join a fraternity by stealing a body. This film stands out for its meta commentary and blend of genres, representing an intriguing precursor to later horror-comedies. Recently released on 4K UHD/Blu-Ray, it serves as a nostalgic trip into clever horror comedy.
"It's an odd movie," Dekker later acknowledged in something of an understatement, having touched upon everything from the Ed Wood-esque sci-fi to the inspired slasher within the first 10 minutes.
Fred Dekker wastes little time setting the monster mash tone. In the prologue alone, a possessed E.T. on a budget alien shoots a canister at planet Earth circa 1959.
Taking the director's chair for the first of sadly only three occasions, Fred Dekker brings a unique charm to what becomes an unhinged horror comedy.
Now available on 4K UHD/Blu-Ray, it's the perfect time to revisit Night of the Creeps ' many meta charms.
