Deep in the swampy hearts and minds of some filmmakers, embarrassing stereotypes still fester, gathering moss and slime.
Ethan Gilsdorf, Boston Globe
Overview

Top critics, in their words

Doesn't throw in the kind of wit that can turn a formulaic creature feature into a pleasant diversion along the lines of "Lake Placid."
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Rotten
There is a perverse enjoyment to be had from something this cheesy, although not enough of one that I can recommend sitting through it.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
It is in no way a great movie. But it is a great reminder of what used to be so much fun about bad movies.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

With dependably creepy character actor Sid Haig to goose things along as leader of the locals, "Creature" is delightfully dopey.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
