Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

When I first saw this movie, I didn't know whether I should laugh, scream, or just throw up. The little critters in this movie are nauseating, to say the least. Anyway......

Hard to believe that there were characters in this shockfest who were willing to waste perfectly good money buying what was basically medical waste. But it takes all kinds, doesn't it? Two of the characters spend most of their onscreen time arguing over who has the best claim to the four-eyed specimen, one woman goes topless for pretty much the whole thing, the private detective has no clue what's going on, and the critters are offing the hapless humans one by one in some admittedly ingenious ways.

As for the critters themselves, I cooked up my own names for them: the smallest one with the quills, Needles; the lumpy-looking greenish one, Lugnut; the freakishly muscular one, Strongarm; and the leader, Brainchild. These are my own nicknames for them; feel free to come up with your own if you so desire.

I enjoyed this movie a lot, and I recommend it to anyone looking for some cheap gross-out fun.

i am not and have never been a big fan of full moon. most of the films ive seen of theirs have been very dissapointing. hideous is one of the few exceptions, another being the gingerdead man (yes i'm serious). hideous is about a couple collectors of biological oddities who's latest catch has decided to break free and along with a couple other little freaks get revenge. while nothing special, hideous is enjoyable and fun to watch. the little mutants are fun and sometimes funny. one of them steals the show in a very disturbing and hilarious sexual encounter. hideous is not without its problems. it drags on alot in the middle and takes about 40 minutes to get going and i was hoping for a little more action near the end. the only other real problems come from the overall cheesiness of the film but this isnt a huge problem because the whole movie is fun. if you like absurd and funny horror films then hideous will not dissapoint. its enjoyable and funny, just dont go in expecting a masterpeice. 3 1/2
