- DirectorStan WinstonStarsLance HenriksenJeff EastJohn D'AquinoAfter a tragic accident, a man conjures up a towering, vengeful demon called Pumpkinhead to destroy a group of unsuspecting teenagers.Loved this movie as a kid....
the monster is awesome....don't expect any Pumpkin headed creatures though....
Very Dark atmosphere throughout the film... I love it!!! - DirectorStephen HerekStarsDee WallaceM. Emmet WalshBilly Green BushA group of small but vicious alien creatures called Crites escape from an alien prison transport vessel and land near a small farm town on earth, pursued by two shape-shifting bounty hunters.How can you go wrong with tons of Critters violently harassing people? I would have liked to see more of the critters but it's still a good watch.
- DirectorMichael CooneyStarsScott MacDonaldChristopher AllportStephen MendelAfter an accident that left murderer Jack Frost dead in genetic material the vengeful killer returns as a murderous snowman to exact his revenge on the man who sent him to be executedThis movie doesn't waste any time... It doesn't bother with the chit chat attempting to create some sort of connection with the characters and the audience...It knows it has bad acting and it knows it's cheesy...and that's why it's amazing
strait to the killing!!!! and boy is it great ;) - DirectorRussell MulcahyStarsGregory HarrisonArkie WhiteleyBill KerrAs a vicious wild boar terrorizes the Australian outback, the husband of one of the victims is joined by a hunter and a farmer in a search for the beast.Giant animals killing people is an awesome concept...
this movie isn't the most professional thing in the word...but most movies like this aren't... I think it deserves a watch - DirectorGary JonesStarsGunnar HansenRon AshetonSteve DixonA violent massacre caused by human-sized mosquitoes forces the lone survivors to band together in a fight for survival as the mosquitoes continue their onslaught.This movie is hilariously bad... but it's consistent! It's one of those bad movies that are just fun to watch anyways... some scenes are just ridiculous...
I think it's worth a watch - DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsMira SorvinoJeremy NorthamAlexander GoodwinThree years ago, entomologist Dr. Susan Tyler genetically created an insect to kill cockroaches carrying a virulent disease. Now, the insects are out to destroy their only predator, mankind.It's hard to fish out the good monster movies once CGI came around but this is one that holds up...
In fact it's so good it will remain one of my all time favorites of the genre forever.
Pretty much about giant bugs dragging people into the sewers and eating them.... pretty cool! - DirectorStephen SommersStarsTreat WilliamsFamke JanssenAnthony HealdA group of heavily armed hijackers board a luxury ocean liner in the South Pacific Ocean to loot it, only to do battle with a series of large-sized, tentacled, man-eating sea creatures who had already invaded the ship.This movie is great for action monster movie lovers as well as horror....
very cliched and cheesy. The monster or "monsters" I suppose you could say look great for CGI
Ever wonder what it would be like if a ship was attacked by killer tentacles? Well here you go - DirectorLuca BercoviciStarsPeter LiapisLisa PelikanMichael Des BarresA young man and his girlfriend move into an old mansion home, where he becomes possessed by a desire to control ancient demons.The killing is weak but the monsters are awesome! pretty neat movie!
- DirectorChristian AlvartStarsDennis QuaidBen FosterCam GigandetTwo crew members of a spaceship wake up from hypersleep to discover that all their colleagues are missing. Despite this, it appears that they are not alone.The end of this movie tripped me out... I would say it's one of the best twist's I've seen in this kind of movie...
plus the concept is freaky and the monsters look
pretty creepy D: - DirectorJohn Carl BuechlerStarsMichael MoriartyShelley HackNoah HathawayA wicked troll king in search of a mystical ring that will transform him to human form invades a San Francisco apartment complex where a powerful witch lives.Very interesting and funny characters!
A lot of monsters shown on camera.
It's a perfect movie....It could pass for a fantasy movie as well. - DirectorBob DahlinStarsDonald GrantDenise DuBarryClaude AkinsPaul Dooley, Paul Walker, John Carradine and Henry Gibson head up an all-star cast in this horror-comedy about a murderous but misunderstood monster!The monster looks hilariously awesome! His mouth is huge and never shuts, he constantly makes goofy cartoon monster sounds, and he walks so slow he should't be a threat...
This movie made no sense but it was a good watch. - DirectorMark JonesStarsWarwick DavisJennifer AnistonKen OlandtAn evil, sadistic Leprechaun goes on a killing rampage in search of his beloved pot of gold.Ugly arce little people can be one of the freakiest things in the universe....This movie proves that...
Not exactly in the way it's filmed...na this movie doesn't need that...This little bastard is freaky enough on his own.
There could and should have been more killing butI liked this one.
It's a classic :) - DirectorFrank HenenlotterStarsRick HearstGordon MacDonaldJennifer LowryOne morning, a young man wakes to find that a small, disgusting creature has attached itself to the base of his brain stem. The creature gives him a euphoric state of happiness but demands human victims in return.The beginning half or maybe a little less is the best part of this movie imo....
It's pretty much about being addicted to a drug but the "drug" is a liquid injected by a worm that wants brains in return. It's a crazy movie that I really enjoyed...If anything it drags some scenes on way to long but it's still a classic - DirectorTroy NixeyStarsKatie HolmesGuy PearceBailee MadisonA young girl sent to live with her father and his new girlfriend believes that she has released creatures from a sealed ash pit in the basement of her new home.Not a lot of killing in this movie but it does have the creepy factor and the creatures are pretty awesome.
It's more or less about what the tooth fairy really is... But it's kind of a wasted concept. The plot really strayed from that original idea but it was a cool movie. - DirectorPeter HyamsStarsPenelope Ann MillerTom SizemoreLinda HuntA homicide detective and an anthropologist try to destroy a South American lizard-like god, who's on a people eating rampage in a Chicago museum.I was pleasantly surprised by this film! Most monster movies I come across these days turn out to be crappy CGI, SiFi channel-like crap. The monster in this was cool and was shown a lot. It also showed it kill people! (which is lacking in many monster movies for some reason)
for monster movie lovers this is a good one to try out. - DirectorJames GunnStarsNathan FillionElizabeth BanksMichael RookerA small town is taken over by an alien plague, turning residents into zombies and all forms of mutant monsters.This movies badass!!! Not only does it have carnivorous space slugs that enter the mouths of the living and make them into zombies but it also has a mutant tentical "The Thing" worthy dude that gets uglier and uglier throughout the movie....awesome and violent ;)
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsKurt RussellWilford BrimleyKeith DavidA research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims.Obvious Classic that most should know about already.
This movie is full of the most detailed well crafted puppet gore mutant monster visuals ever made!
A must see ! - DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsRoy ScheiderRobert ShawRichard DreyfussWhen a killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Cape Cod, it's up to a local sheriff, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down.This is one of those famous movies I just have to add.... it is a ridiculously huge killer shark after all ;)
- DirectorRenny HarlinStarsThomas JaneSaffron BurrowsSamuel L. JacksonSearching for a cure to Alzheimer's disease, a group of scientists on an isolated research facility become the prey, as a trio of intelligent sharks fight back.Not like Jaws in any way other than the fact that the "monster" is a shark... in fact, there are multiple sharks.
This movie goes with a more science fiction route though. Takes place in a huge underwater base and the sharks do things sharks could never do such as swimming backwards..OOooooOooOooo!
It's good if you don't let the Realism of Jaws effect your opinion. Think of the sharks as monsters....not big sharks...or both ;D - DirectorTom HollandStarsCatherine HicksChris SarandonAlex VincentA struggling single mother unknowingly gifts her son a doll imbued with a serial killer's consciousness.Another classic everybody knows about but even so....it involves a killer doll.... so I must mention it.
awesome movie! - DirectorRalph S. SingletonStarsDavid AndrewsKelly WolfStephen MachtIn a very old textile mill with a serious rat infestation, deadly accidents start happening, but the corrupt foreman continues to put his workers in danger, until they discover a horrifying secret deep in the basement.Hate rats? well this movie is full of em.
Thousands!
But one of them is a bit more of a problem...a much, much, muchmuch, bigger problem.
Loved this one! - DirectorTim BoxellStarsPamela GidleySimon BossellValeriy NikolaevMutant lizards attack a woman on the run hiding out in a cabin in the woods.Not the best movie but I thought it was worth mentioning as it is watchable and has giantish killer lizards which is kinda cool.
I enjoyed it enough to put it on this list that's all I'll say. - DirectorAllan HolzmanStarsDon OliveraJesse VintJune ChadwickIn the distant future, a federation marshal arrives at a research lab on a remote planet where a genetic experiment has gotten loose and begins feeding on the dwindling scientific group.Actually loved this one!
Pretty much a space lab's experiment ends up mutating into a killer monster, spider, alien, blob thing. ;P
It's sci-fi but with only a hint of real future stuff
There's a robot but it's pretty easy to forget it's the future and just think their in a high tech government facility - DirectorDavid SchmoellerStarsPaul Le MatWilliam HickeyIrene MiraclePsychics find themselves plotted against by a former colleague, who committed suicide after discovering animated, murderous puppets.If your fine with B movie quality(which I hope you are if your into this genre and have been reading this list) then the whole Puppet Master series isn't a bad bunch of movies. It's more or less about killer dolls but way different than chucky.
- DirectorMark JonesStarsMax GrodénchikJohn DuceyKim Johnston UlrichThe wish of a young widow to see her police officer husband, killed on the line of duty, frees a demonic creature who wants to claim the soul of her baby.Another fairy tale killer. This time, it's Rumpelstiltskin!
Pretty consistently entertaining movie with a creepy bad guy who actually has some pretty funny lines.
