Night of the Creeps / Homecoming Night / USA / 1986

Halfway through Fred Dekker’s forgotten zombie classic there’s a slow but genuine realization on the part of the audience—this is more than just a cheesy horror film from the Reagan era. Night of the Creeps is Michael Jackson’s Thriller meets Sixteen Candles. It’s a well-choreographed and expertly shot piece of original cinema that manages to lampoon itself, as well as parody every implausibly bad film about over-sexed and clueless teens, with incredible subtlety. The self-ridiculing special effects, overly inane characters, and superb performance by the vastly underrated Tom Atkins all add to the film’s subversive charm, not to mention some of the greatest one-liners in satirical film history.
