Thursday Movie Picks: Creature/Monster Features


This theme I struggled with as I'm not entirely sure what counts as a 'creature'.

 Don't forget to check out what Wandering Through the Shelves picked, the blog that started Thursday Movie Picks.


Black Sheep


No werewolves right? There was nothing about were-sheep. A Weird horror comedy from New Zealand that I actually saw in the cinema for my friend's birthday. We saw it as there was nothing else on but it wasn't too bad. After a weird couple of accidents in his youth, Henry returns to home to his family's sheep farm. Henry has a phobia of sheep. Elsewhere, some activists release a mutant sheep by accident, but its too late. The sheep wreck havoc throughout the peaceful New Zealand countryside and Henry is forced to face his fear.

Lake Placid


I watched this film years ago, by accident. This always happens, late night, mistake a film for something else end up terrified. A gigantic saltwater crocodile has been attacking people on Black Lake so crack team; Brigit Fonda, Bill Pullman and Oliver Platt go to investigate. Basically Betty White has been feeding it for years even after it killed her husband. So, who's the real villain of this story?
Godzilla
 This could be in the sci-fi category too but Godzilla is technically a creature and he sure does feature. Ancient reptile appears from the depths to save us all from the other hideous creature and as they fight, cities are destroyed and its beautiful to watch.
