NIGHT OF THE CREEPS [1986]

Night Of The Creeps is a comedy/horror film from director Fred Dekker doing his best to make it so bad it's good.
Starting off on an alien ship, in a Star Wars homage, it quickly turns into a weird slasher flick set in the 50's and then a zombie film in the mid 80's making for a bumpy narrative that somehow ties it all together rather sloppily.  At times it is actually quite funny in a bad way and at other times it's just plain stupid but is too short to wear out it's welcome.  With a bit of better casting choices it might have actually become better than what it is but I'm more than sure it has it's legions of cult classic followers.
