As part of a fraternity initiation, Chris and J.C. sneak into a cryogenics lab and accidently thaw out a creepy corpse. Little did they know that they have just unleashed a plague upon both their houses. When the corpse shows up without its head in front of Kappa Delta sorority, Detective Cameron is hot on their tales. Suddenly unexplainable events begin to happen. Corpses begin to walk around, the dead rise from their sleep, and heads explode to reveal a nest of slugs. These creatures are the carriers of this so-called disease and are doing quite a good job of transmitting it. One by one, they consume people, nest and spread. After J.C. becomes one of the victims, Chris and Detective Cameron are determined to stop these little creepy crawlies.
This is a awesome horror movie straight from the generation of the genre. Night of the creeps doesn't sport any big names, but its quite well done and is more than entertaining. There is also a bit of very lame foreshadowing that's pretty visible to anyone who has seen the movie more than once.
There are few must see scenes and things to look out for when you watch this movie. First off is one of the first scenes of Chris and J.C. in the cryogenics lab. When they see the frozen body Chris asks, "Who do you think it is?" and in a sarcastic tone J.C. answers back, "I don't know, Walt Disney? Who cares." Nobody could've known how funny that line would come to be in today's light. Keep you eye open for detective Cameron who comes armed with a twelve gauge and a myriad of cliches and one-liners in an attempts to be witty. Also watch for the magically self-extinguishing and self-re-lighting flame thrower. And near the end, like when they blow up the house, keep your eyes peeled on the crowd. There is a guy standing in there that looks a little like Bruce Springsteen.
Night of the Creeps is time and money well spent. Do what you must to see this movie. Not a bad movie to watch with your girlfriend either, but its worth watching so don't be doing any of that other stuff!
