Description

A beloved regional horror vortex that was conjured in Connecticut, ATTACK OF THE BEAST CREATURES is a triumph of low budget ingenuity. In an unknown galaxy, a group of travelers crash their boat on an island. At first, all is well. But when a man takes a dip in an acid lake and becomes a steaming pile of gloop, it's clear that there's trouble in paradise. That's when the cult of demon dolls reveal themselves... and their appetite for eating faces. Fueled by outrageous gore, a sublime synthesizer score, and jaw-dropping puppet effects, this is what happens when a mid-century creature feature collides with DIY surrealism and everyone wins. AGFA is honored to present ATTACK OF THE BEAST CREATURES—originally known as HELL ISLAND—on disc for the first time, featuring a restoration from the original 16mm camera negative and an island full of bloodthirsty extras.

    Attack!

    This is a great weird regional horror movie. If you're into crude effects and bad acting, this is for you. Charming and fun.

    A Glorious Guilty Pleasure

    I absolutely love this scrappy, low‑fi indie horror outing, beautifully restored by the great folks at the American Genre Film Archive. It’s hilarious, endlessly rewatchable, and the freaky demon dolls steal the show as they gleefully tear through cardboard human actors. Highly recommended!!!

    Seems right up my alley

    I've not gotten to check out this AGFA release of some Connecticut Weird Little Guy kino, but I hope to soon, with some herbal assistance.
