Danger awaits a group of survivors from a luxury cruise
liner who get ship wreaked on a deserted island in Attack of the Beast Creatures (1985). The survivors are made up of a diverse group
of both crew members and passengers (Robert Nolfi, Robert Lengyel, Julia Rust,
and Lisa Pak, to name a few) some of who are at each others throats the moment
they land on the island but their personal quibbles are nothing compared to the
danger on the island from dangerous plants and acid pools that burn your flesh
off to the touch to the miniature terror of beast creatures that inhabit the
island and feast on the flesh of everything they come into contact to. Now the survivors must find a way off the
island as they are picked off one by one by the little creatures that seem to
be everywhere watching and waiting to strike.
This ‘80s film is littered with bad acting and even worse
creature FX (even for a low budget film) in this basic premise of man (or
woman) verses nature film that’s barely entertaining despite the copious
amounts of blood on display. The film
could have been better (in the entertaining area) if not for the look and
execution of the creatures as the premise of a group of survivors on an island
filled with little killer creatures could have been excellent but this is
otherwise a film better left dead and buried.
If you do happen upon it, at least it’s short (at a meager
82 minutes) and lots of the cast meet a gruesome fate even if it is by a crappy
looking monster.
