In
the vein of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Fred Dekker's
Night of the Creeps (1986) is an '80s classic that blends
science fiction and horror with a dose of comedy that is still as
great today as it was when first released. Thanks to Umbrella, we
now have this amazing new release packed with new extras, a
collectible reversible slipcover, and a sharp high definition
transfer that brings the film to life like never before.
The
film stars Tom Atkins (Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, The
Fog), Dick Miller, Jason Lively (European Vacation), and
Steve Marshall with incredible special effects by some of the biggest
names in the SFX industry today, Howard Berger (The Walking Dead)
and Robert Kurtzman (From Dusk Til Dawn).
When
aliens jettison an interstellar space pod in 1959 it crashes to Earth
and infects an unsuspecting human in a most sinister manner,
establishing a macabre baseline of monster mayhem. 25 years later,
the cryogenically frozen subject remains part of a college study, but
when students Chris Romero (Jason Lively) and J.C. Hooper (Steve
Marshall) release it on a fraternity dare, the infected subject not
only defrosts to wreak havoc once again but turns the small town
upside down. Bugs, slugs, slithering creatures of all manner and
malevolence infiltrate the community in the name of disarray,
hell-bent on transforming it into a zombie playground where the
living dead rule.
Presented
in 1080p High Definition with a 1.85:1 widescreen aspect ratio and a
crystal clear, lossless 5.1 DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) English track,
you'll be hard pressed to find a better edition of this film out
here. It simply looks incredible on Blu-ray and it is commendable
what Umbrella has come up with at least as good a copy as the U.S.
Sony Blu-ray.
