Movie

4.5/5

Aliens. Ax murderers. Zombie slugs. And Tom Atkins saying “Thrill me.”
Fred Dekker’s Night of the Creeps is a glorious, gory blend of horror and laughs that lovingly riffs on B-movies, 1950s sci-fi, and 1980s gore-fests. If you know, you know. ‍♀️

4K Video Quality

4.5/5

✅ Native 4K scan from the original camera negative
✅ Dolby Vision and HDR10 presentation

• Fine grain is beautifully preserved without looking noisy or waxy ️

• Skin textures, 1980s hair, and slimy alien slugs all show razor-sharp detail

• HDR is used subtly to add depth and pop — especially in the red-lit lab scenes and flashlight-lit dorm halls

• Shadow detail and black levels are vastly improved over prior Blu-ray editions ‍♂️

• Colors are rich but natural — no heavy regrading or teal/orange gimmicks

➤ Best the film has ever looked — a respectful restoration with a playful pop.

Audio Quality

4.5/5

• DTS-HD MA 5.1 is spacious and atmospheric — creepy score, slug squelches, and shotgun blasts sound fantastic

• 2.0 stereo mix is included for purists and sounds great

➤ Whichever mix you choose, you’ll hear every scream, splat, and catchphrase in pristine clarity. ️
