Okay what to say? The original Breeders (1986) was a really bad movie. The monster look like a college kid wearing a bug mask and a garbage bag. The acting was non-existent, the story was just as non-existent, the directing was non-existent. Are you detecting a pattern here?
Fast forward 10 years later, the director of Grim, Paul Matthews, helms this remake. Looking at the creature design on the VHS cover, I actually was sold on the movie, until I read the title. All I could think is why the hell with anybody think about remaking a movie that was so terrible that nothing could save it? So, my curiosity got the best of me, I shelled out $2 and rented it.
While I will admit the creature looked mildly more realistic, and when I say mildly I mean to the mildest, any other redeeming quality was lost in a series of bad special effects, bad acting, and a bad story that felt like it has been done to death.
Now, a question to any aspiring movie makers out there. If it ain't broke don't fix it. If it's broken beyond repair, don't bother!
I was originally going to give this one star, but I decided to add two extra stars because the creature design was worth it. At least when you don't have to stare at for long periods of time and realize that it's just a guy in a costume!
