THE ATOMIC ZOMBIE SPACE CREEPS is another indie throwback to the sci-fi genre of old, particularly the alien invasion film. It's of worse quality than the films of Christopher R. Mihm, although the budget stretches to lots of bad CGI UFO effects. The opening homages NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD by involving outer space antics in a graveyard, but before long the film is bogged down by the usual terrible overacting and mundane scripting.

"Don't Make Me Destroy You!"...

In THE ATOMIC ZOMBIE SPACE CREEPS, mankind has once again drawn the attention of extraterrestrials for messing around with atomic energy. Now, arrogant alien meddlers have arrived on our dear planet to begin turning ordinary citizens into the shambling, shuffling horde of the title.
Can a man in a Hawaiian shirt stop the onslaught before we're exterminated?
Essentially, this is a black and white home movie that manages to hit and miss -almost- equally. While its stratospheric cheeeze-factor is indeed an asset, there are several, vast dull spots that tend to cause the viewer's brain to implode.
The CGI death ships, robots, etc., are tolerable, benefitting greatly from the lack of color. However, the dreadful dialogue between the characters is like listening to a washing machine with an uneven load!
At less than an hour in length, it feels eternal. Lovers of excruciating cinema will find more than enough pain here to extinguish their souls. All others had better just move along...
