Summary: What A Piece Of Crap!!!
Review: A genuine rip-off of Alien. Cliched to the extreme. Acting was pathethic, even Kinski. Special-effects were crap, even for mid-nineteen eighties. Sorry I just couldn't find any possitives about this movie. I rest my case.

Summary: A half-way decent Alien clone
Review: 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.

Summary: could've used more Klaus
Review: 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.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ...Just Bad!
Review: For those of you who like really bad movies then this is the DVD for you! I am a big fan of b-movies and silly, campy shows that are just so bad-they're good! However this movie is so bad it's ...well, BAD! It is a cheap rip off of Alien, and the plot is thinner than wet tissue. The characters bicker at one another for no aparant reason, and the script doesnt explain, who or what or why these crew members are invoved here? I could barely sit through this film, and was bored almost immediately! Save the money and rent Alien, at your local video store!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: LOW BUDGET SCI-FI HORROR FUN!
Review: I first saw this movie on TV when I was a young teen, and remembered it as being scary. With that in mind, I purchased Creature hoping to relive the exprience.

I am sorry to say that I was grievously disappointed. Two of the male characters were really hurting for a haircut. THe movie came out in the mid eighties, I remeber long hair being out even then.

THe dialouge and special effects were cheezy, and the acting ranged from poor to fair.

I guess I must have been tired the night I watched this film in the late eighties, that's why it appeared to be scary.

I gave Creature two stars, however, because it had one or two geunine scares. I guess I'll have to wait until I'm really tired again to enjoy this film now. That's if I don't fall to sleep first.

Summary: One of the best Alien rip-offs
Review: 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)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Above your average sci-fi
Review: I remember ehen I first saw this film, I was 11 and it scared the s*** out of me. Now that I am older I still find this Alien rip-off very entertaining. For one the films special effects are great considering the budget it had, and the film score is top-notch. Its no Aliens, but all in all a great little scare, and well worth the price.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An ALIEN clone with LOTS of T&A!
Review: I saw this as a teenager & LOVED it! Now I have it on DVD so I can punish my friends also....they'll NEVER let ME pick a movie again!

For a campy ALIEN ripoff it's a good tongue in cheek movie that can be pretty intense. The Alien Creature uses the astronauts as bait to draw in the others for the kill--usually NUDE WOMEN!

For under ... you can't beat it if you like campy Sci-Fi...at least Lorenzo Lamas isn't in it!
