Crapozoids! Or, um....Cheesozoids! Definitely more appropriate titles.

This is just another typically lousy and low-budgeted 80's crap movie in which mutant creatures kill and eat a bunch of characters you don't care about to begin with, anyway. The writers of this piece of junk apparently were a bit pessimistic about the near future, as the year is 1998 and the entire world is unlivable already! Due to constant nuclear warfare, acid rain falls from the sky and scientists messed up some dangerous experiments that resulted in super-intelligent monsters. In other words; welcome to the 80s, my friends! Anyway, five military deserters seek shelter in an abandoned lab and soon they face the monster as well giant fake rats. Wow, what a BAD movie! Despite being very short (about 70min.), "Creepozoids" still manages to be incredibly tedious and especially the monster baby battle at the end is way too long. The multiple attempts to make the film look like "Alien" are pathetic, the cheesy sequences with the rat couldn't be more random and the music as well as the dialogs are downright painful to listen to. I don't care if Linnea Quigley has hundred gratuitous shower scenes, this is just intolerable nonsense.
