THE CRAWLERS
THE STORY: The first thing I can tell you about this movie is the cover art on the box. It features a well endowed woman in the grip of creepy tentacles! I though when I first saw it, "I'll bet theres not even a woman like this in the movie!" Well, there is!
This movie has a very simple comic book plot...well its even more simple than comic books, because there is nothing in the plot that makes you think that any thought takes place.
Josie is a young woman returning home for some reason or another. Her home is of course in the middle of hickville and there is nothing to convince you otherwise. Killer plants eat a few people and one of them is a person (Susan, she of the big breasts) she met for five minutes on her bus ride home! Eventually Josie and her boyfriend Matt with the help of drunk scientist Dr. Taylor discover that nuclear waste has been dumped in the forest and caused plants to change into monstrous carnivours.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?:
1.) The guy that plays the sherriff is one of the worst actors I've ever seen! (thats saying something because no one else in this movie is going to win an Oscar!)
2.) If I took a trip on a bus...and the driver stopped in the middle of nowhere for five minutes to piss and left me there...I'd be suing that bus company! Rent this and ask if you wouldn't if you were Susan!
3.) I asked my wife this...just to make sure I wasn't seeing some other reality....but I' m pretty sure that NO ATTRACTIVE WOMAN WOULD GET INTO A PICKUP WITH THE CREEPY GUY LIKE SUSAN DOES!
4.) I have to say it again...theres no great deal of acting skill in this flick but the sherriff sucks!
5.) Good god, a 13 year old must have wrote this...all of a sudden more than an hour into the movie, Kruger the head of the nuclear planr plant kills himself after admitting his guilt in dumping waste...but thats not the worst...the characters have really half assed and stupid reasons for not telling the authorities-after they discover their familes have been killed!
6. The death scene with Dr. Taylor and Matt's father is unbelievably bad!
NUDITY AND SEX: None.
HUH?: When describing Susan after she is killed she is classified as blonde. Susan has very dark brown hair and I know my TV is not that bad.
Killer plants yet a reporter doesn't want to report it? Or at the very least tell the authorities so no one else gets killed?
The acting in this movie is so bad, you'll think its a joke.
The scene where Josie and her brother are attacked is s cut up I think the editor was drunk!
THE TALLY: This movie was done with the worst actors I've seen in a long time. Its like they were reading from cue cards. The acting seemed to get worse the longer movie went on. I have to wonder what the director was thinking...its pretty bad and its not bad acting you can hide behind effects or anything...its truly sucky, bad acting! Its so bad, well, its kind of entertaining. Don't look forward to anything that may be even remotely good...this flick is pure crap and a cheese treat because of it! Honestly this makes the movie cheesey and worthy of a decent rating,
(Gratuitous nudity or a few more stupid parts may have pushed it into the two devil head range! ) I feel sorry for the writers...they probably thought they were writing a good movie!
