Creepozoids quite literally has the same plot as Rats: Night of Terror. In Rats I said: "It's the year 225 AB (After the Bomb) and the destroyed world split into two groups: those underground and those above ground. Some people from above ground discover one of the underground bases, and despite their superior technology and innovation, somehow they're all dead. In the meantime, seems to be a whole lot of rats scurrying around." With Creepozoids, the year is instead 1998, and the rats in this case are giant. Otherwise, exactly the same.
Linnea Quigley, a future porn star, and three men are the outsiders in this case who stumble upon the secret base. They're a ragtag group of buddies who are trying to escape the hostile environment on Earth now that 6 years have passed since the bomb. In the base, they find clues that there was some secret research going on, and they find a couple of bodies. The hacker Jesse soon enough encounters some black slime while crawling through ducts, and it all points to some giant monsters that're looming around in the base with them.
This is exactly like Rats, and much like that, it's fun enough for a cult night. It's quick paced, the actors are decent, there's nudity and lots of bra-less women. Linnea Quigley is a B movie queen from the 80's and this is I think her third time mentioned on this blog? The movie plays out like one wants it to, with plenty of effects, terrible or great. It has interesting music, weird acting from the men especially, and it features a great end sequence with a killer baby. How can you go wrong?
I wanted some trashy fun, this fits the bill. I'll give it 3.5 stars.
