“If you loved the classics Night of the Creeps, Critters, Dead Heat, Ghoulies, They Live and Gremlins then you’re in for a real treat,” the makers of the upcoming horror film Creatures promised when the film was announced last year, and we’ve learned this week that production was able to wrap up before the pandemic hit. The official trailer has also been unleashed.
The action/sci-fi/horror-comedy comes from the director of Cute Little Buggers (Tony Jopia), the executive producer of The Hive (Romain Barbey), the creator of Good Tidings (Stu Jopia), and the puppet creation team behind “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance” (Stitches and Glue).
In the film…
“A group of astronomy students get more than they bargained for after finding an injured alien who is being targeted by a group of bloodthirsty alien creatures.”
The filmmaking team said in a statement, “Our passion lies in melding practical and visual FX. We aim to deliver on the goods by bringing together some creatively nasty SFX, tremendous puppet creature work and VFX work that will blow fans of action, horror comedies truly away.”
Jopia teases, “It’s going to be a non-stop action, sci-fi, horror comedy packed with badass nasty aliens and one adorable little bugger that YULE definitely want for Christmas.”
Creatures will have a festive theatrical and physical release Christmas 2020.
