Recommandations
- 88
Slant Magazine
Night of the Creeps is the “I Love the ‘80s” of moviemaking. It has every element and cliché ever put into a film made in the greatest decade. - 80
CineVue
A faultlessly fun genre picture. - 75
TV Guide Magazine
A clever debut film from writer-director Fred Dekker that combines science fiction, horror, and comedy into a fairly entertaining package. - 70
The New York Times
Beyond it's obviously derivative inspiration, the film shows a fair ability to create suspense, build tension and achieve respectable performances. - 70
IGN
Overall, Creeps is witty, it's scary, it's gory, and it includes a number of one-liners that many film-fans still quote today, though none will ever be as memorable as: "The good news is…your dates are here. The bad news is…they're dead." - 60
Time Out
Neither Dekker's sloppy direction nor the cheapo make-up and effects do justice to the hand-me-down but sporadically lively script. Not the most sophisticated or scary horror film of the year, perhaps, but enjoyable enough in a ramshackle sort of way. - 58
The A.V. Club
Night Of The Creeps has all the ingredients of a top-notch cult movie, yet Dekker too often ends up recycling clichés rather than subverting or spoofing them. - 40
Washington Post
Unfortunately, the film's stalking hordes of zombies aren't the only lifeless things about it. [03 Nov 1986, p.B2]
