Watch The Creeping Terror For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It sucked up Hollywood, according to Gilda Radner in the 1982 movie documentary comedy "It Came From Hollywood", not using that line particularly, but commenting on this carpet monster's suction like mouth's ability to get past a curvy woman's hips, eating up all but their shoes. That documentary did indeed show a large hipped woman being sucked in, spitting out it's shoes. I didn't see that hysterical footage in my print of this movie, but there was plenty of footage to amuse me even if I didn't laugh. This is done in a mock documentary style, with narration told so seriously you have to wonder how the script reader got through this without a single flaw. Being done for TV, it looks cheaper even than the oldest kinescope available. It's Plan Nine meets The Blob, a must for fans of hideously bad sci fi, and ripe for ridicule. After a while though, the organ music gets truly irritating.

People say that "The Giant Claw", "Plan 9 from Outer Space", and similar films represent Grade Z movies and are among the worst ever. Well, those films are great works of cinematic art compared to "The Creeping Terror" which, if it's not the worst movie ever made, is pretty close.The plot--such as it is--involves the landing of an alien spacecraft with two monsters aboard. One of the monsters, which resembles a hairy, lumpy carpet with a kind of head, gets loose and is soon ingesting all the humans it encounters. The military (unsuccessfully) attacks it before finally destroying it with hand grenades, while the local law enforcement and a "concerned scientist" looks on. Not to worry, though--another monster takes its place. The ending poses the question "can earth be saved?", and I was beginning to wonder the same thing by that point.The interesting thing is that the creeping terror monster is so slow and awkward that it shouldn't really be able to catch any humans at all. Anyone who walks normally would be able to escape it, but it consumes everyone at a dance hall, a woman hanging her laundry, and several soldiers. The soldiers all bunch together and charge the monster from the front (it eats people using some kind of mouth) but alas, they're almost all gobbled up. Wow.The movie has no dialogue, only ominous narration throughout. The only really recognizable actor is William Thourlby, who was once a Marlboro Man and later provided Richard Nixon with fashion advice. The movie actually is rather enjoyable if you want to watch something with almost zero production values, no dialogue, and the most preposterous monster ever captured on film. Don't expect anything good, but it's entertaining in a sort of perverse way.

The PlotA newlywed sheriff tries to stop a shambling monster that has emerged from a spaceship to eat the citizens of an American town.From the worst acting ever to the monster who is essentially a guy wrapped in a carpet this has got to be the biggest hoot on earth.The space ship is a Mercury launch in reverse and then once it's on the ground it looks nothing like what you just saw AND the police say there was a plane crash! What????i thought i was watching a lost Ed Wood movie. It even has a voice over that explains the narrative for retards.Very early on there is a shot of the coolest car ever. Maybe it's a Morgan. It looks like it could be the Bat-mobile from the original serial in the 40s.The only bad thing about this film is that the director only made two movies so he couldn't get Ed Wood status. Had he lived longer he's be right up there.

When I watched this movie for the first and only time I didn't realize it was made in 1964, I thought it had to be from the 50's. I mean you have a narrator for goodness sakes and it is in black and white. The creeping terror is so slow moving I can't see why anything, let alone a human, would end up as prey, well snail or a turtle maybe. Plus there is the factor of alien biology and chemical compatibility between the two species. This monster looks like a precursor to the Swiffer at it's bottom. The alien who drags it out looks like a very bad Sponge Bob Square Pants. Also if you are a space faring race why are you transporting monsters? To a zoo or some park? zi mean why are these kind of movies even made?????
