NIGHT CRAWLERS is a zero-budget shot-on-video horror flick with a cast that can be counted on one hand. A friend of mine purchased it in a bargain horror-anthology called "The Spawn of Satan". That title wound up having nothing to do with this or the other three horribly cheap horror moves contained in the set.
The plot to NIGHT CRAWLERS has a family moving into a suspiciously inexpensive house in a town in Utah. They are soon attacked by the "Night Crawlers", ground-dwelling paper mache monsters with four drawn-on eyes and antennea. A lot of fake blood sprays about. The obviously non-professional cast stumbles over cliche horror dialogue (minus the swearing, this is Utah). There are really bad computer graphics as well. The monsters explain in a barely intelligible voice about how they are from another planet and have lived on Earth for centuries. This amazing twist hardly proves relevant since it's just a typical (if atypically cheap) scare fest. Mercifully, it only lasts about an hour.
I'm not sure if it's fair to compare this on a scale with real movies that actually had funding and actors, but I still call NIGHT CRAWLERS one of the worst movies ever made. Even if they did get money for this, the writing and directing are pathetic. This is yet another made-for-video effort that isn't worth discovering.
