Oh, come on guy, you can do better than this. Now I've seen a lot of interesting/unique/obscure/bottom of the barrel Z-grade cinema in my day (Class Reunion Massacre) but I would be shocked to find anything even remotely similar to this one. What under-achiever conjured up this obscurity from another realm? And why in hell does it take place in 1920? Who said that would be a good Idea? These questions, and many like them will most definitely go unanswered, regardless of whether you ever see this or not. I'm not sure what I was expecting from this one, but the type of peculiar offered here kind of caught me off guard. What I find most odd about Attack Of The Beast Creatures, is that I actually kind of liked it.
We begin with the survivors of a sunken ship, who barely make it to an uncharted Island. This island appears to be quiet, and empty, so their only concern now is to quickly find water and nourishment, any water they manage to find turns out to be acid (the bad kind) and on top of that this island isn't so empty after all. This Island is the home of hundreds of vicious, little fake-looking/flesh-eating creatures, who have recently discovered the walking buffet, who have unknowingly invaded their territory. Meet the Beast Creatures.
Nothing, and I mean nothing about these damn things say "I'm a living being." Just a bunch of little dolls with red skin, and white eyes, that people behind the camera toss towards the cast, who pretend the things are biting them. Believe it or not, the cast is even less convincing than the Beast Creatures. I don't know if they thought people had brain-damage in 1920, or these people were actually brain-damaged, in that case, I suppose we should be impressed, other than that, I don't know, there's just something a little "off" about everything in this one.
The part where the creatures are worshiping their statue adds unnecessary depth to those things.
I speak negatively of this film because the negativity is certainly present, but, on the other hand, Attack of the Beast Creatures intrigues me, as soon as I read about it I knew it would. Any collector of the B and/or Z cinema will no doubt be fascinated. Considering the fakeness of the beast creatures, this definitely counts as Z-grade, although, everything else about it didn't come off quite like any other Z-cinema I've seen, this film is just weird, I mean, it's not like Weasels Rip My Flesh, right? But like I said, something is just a little "off" with this one. If all that doesn't scare you off, then it probably intrigues you, if that be the case, then I highly recommend this classic obscurity. 7/10
