This 1985 SciFi/Horror film is poorly made. The acting isn't that great (Klaus Kinski is particularly bad), the writing and directing is only mediocre, as is the editing, the story at times makes little sense, and it is shot poorly. But there is something about it that makes you really enjoy the film. There is plenty of suspense, horror, action, violence, and some nudity. It is one of those films that Alien spawned. Not as good of a movie, but one I think you'll enjoy anyway. Quite frankly, this is one of those bad movies that I like regardless.

I have never seen a rip-off movie try so hard to be original. Director William Malone sure tries hard, in both his directing and his script, but still fails to show any originality. Everything fromt he female lead to the actual design of the creature itself is a direct steal from Alien. With that said I have to say that Creature is actually one of the better Alien rip-offs that I have seen, and believe me there are plenty of Alien rip-offs out there. Most are very poor (Star Crystal and Dead Space come to mind), and though Creature itself isn't a great film, it actually comes out as one of the better of the bunch. Most of the cast actually try to pull this film off, especially the Stan Ivar and Wendy Schaal, but a few of the cast members come off looking really bad in the acting department. And what about Klaus Kinski? THat man was considered a great actor in his time, so what is he doing in Creature? Whatever the reason, I was still glad to see him and his short but memorable presence brings the film up in quality level. So is Creature a good film? No. Is it cheesy? Yes, though it tries hard not to be. Is it entertaining? You bet. A great midnight film that deserves a proper DVD release. Diamond Entertaiment gives us a nicely priced disc but the picture quality is only slightly better than the original VHS release from Media Home Video. Though the image isn't the best, it is far from unwatchable, and it can make a great entry into any sci-fi fans DVD library.
TRIVIA: THe film ahd a budget of $4 million and was titled The Titan Find in other parts of the world. The special effects crew went on to do the special effects for Aliens a year after working on creature. (I guess Creature was good practice for them)

This movie opens with two astronauts finding some capsules on Titan. The capsules are semi-transparent, and they look into one and see a scary monster, which opens its mouth to reveal a bunch of sharp teeth. They jump back, but then for some reason convince themselves that they didn't see what they just saw (a trick of light or some such). So one guy wants to take a picture of the other guy standing next to the capsule, but he can't get both the astronaut and the capsule in the picture (why doesn't he take a step back?) so he has him sit on the capsule. Oh look, now the capsule has a hole in it...but not to worry. "Gee, I sure wish it was you sitting on this capsule" the guy says saveral times.
Guess what happens next? I mean, how can a person take anything that happens after that opening scene seriously? The rest of the movie isn't quite that bad, though some parts come close. The other big problem is that the dialogue is terrible throughout. The characters act like vacant love-struck teenagers. Although the characters are rather likeable and the females are certainly very attractive, I just couldn't get past the clunky, silly words coming out of their mouths.
There are some scary parts, in fact this could have been one heck of a scary movie, but everything is just so...well, goofy. Anyhow, I give it three stars because after a while you get used to the cheesy dialogue and the plot is actually interesting. The monster is quite well done considering the limited budget. Recommended for viewing after you've been smoking the same thing the writers and cast members were smoking.

Creature is a half-way decent Alien clone filmed on a small budget, decent models and with some space suits lifted from 2001. Released a year before Aliens, I caught this film on video and found it enjoyable. The plot centers on a rescue mission that is stranded on Titan after a landing mishap, they then search for survivors from previous expeditions and discover a really [upset] creature with a knack for using dead bodies as zombie slaves. The cast is largely forgettable save for Klaus Kinski and Diane Salinger who steals the show as a tough and very sexy looking security officer. The DVD is pretty basic with little if any features; it is not widescreen and has a mono track. Yet get what you pay for and I would not recommend paying more then [price] for this film. One of the better Alien clones, I like this one because Diane Salinger is so sexy in her black leather uniform and cool laser rifle.

First off, anyone who picks up a cheepie DVD from Diamond Entertainment should know that you'll only get four scene selections and little to no supplemental material, which is forgivable because the price tag is usually right on for what you're getting. "Creature" is a bad, corny, laughable "Alien" clone complete with a guy in a rubber monster suit and a nondescript cast, cheap sets, and an atrocious script. I'm actually sort of on the fence about how much I like/dislike the film... One thing I can't object to, though, is Klaus Kinski's deliciously smarmy (and all too brief) performance as a stranded astronaut; it's a fine testament to his acting ability that he could lend credibility to the highest 'art film' and the lowliest B-movies. Aside from that, there are some neat special effects (although I'm not sure I believe the claim that they were done by the same group that did "Aliens") and T&A to keep your attention.
