Viewing Notes

Another Terrance Fisher flick scratched off the list! This is truly the movie that should’ve been called THE CREEPING DEATH bc these sadsack lumbering creatures just creep along and wait for their victims to get close then game over.

Everyone here is trying so hard to be afraid and instill fear in others but these are the most pathetic things. Gotta love Peter Cushing taking it all so seriously. They remind me of the alien ships in WAR OF THE WORLD but miniature versions with scaly skin. Had this been made in modern times we’d be seeing a THE BLOB VS ISLAND CREEPS by now. I’d watch it!

This was the feature movie for Space Station Europa (Tuesday) on DKUTV.
