The Beast

I loved this when I was a kid, about a big giant squid, and its pretty good if i remember...


Creature

This used to be on tv a lot, and i have no idea where to find it, but its awesome.
Creature on a tropical inhabited island deal, but its long and lots of jumps.

Mimic AND Mimic 2 are great...Mimic 3 sucks

I'm trying to think of some that haven't been mentioned...Urge took the first one I thought of :)

Ticks - My favorite scene is what happens to the guy who played Carlton in Fresh Prince of Belair

Frankenfish - Sounds kinda lame, but it's actually an excellent movie...Well, we really like it, anyway

Carnisaur

Squirm

Alex said, "Eight-Legged Freaks"

I know that I have tons more that I'm just not thinking of right now...Sometimes I get in a mood to watch nothing but creature features, so I have quite a lot of them (many have already been mentioned in this thread by others)


Note:

Larva is absolutely terrible...Don't waste your time

AND

King Of The Ants is NOT about ANTS...But, it IS an excellent movie...I love Stuart Gordon

Rayne is right, larva is one of the most retarded movies ever, with the dumbest looking monsters ever. Pick up a blanket and throw it at someone, is it scary? No, thats what the monsters look like.

Bats wasn't too bad...But, the book was SOOO much better

************SPOILERS!!!************



they try to stop them with a moat, but the ants form a bridge, so they fill the moat with gasoline?

I can NEVER remember the name of that movie...Or...Am I thinking of something completely different?

I got the laserdisc not long ago - havent watched it yet ..

Yes!!...Charleton Heston...That IS the one


It isn't really a typical horror movie...There's no gore, or anything 'scary'...But, for some reason I really like it...I think maybe it's just the constant threat that keeps it tense and makes it 'kinda' scary...Well, and maybe the fact that people die...Something about it is just REALLY good...

Maybe it's the 'reality factor'...Knowing that we are severely outnumbered if nature wanted to take over or something...

It's pretty much the same story...Just in Manhattan...
