About Hideous Creatures
Dr. Rottenberg, the greatest Martian scientist, comes to Planet Earth to make preparations for a wild invasion involving re-animated Earth bodies, Martian zombies and teenagers playing in the woods. Criaturas Hediondas is one of the first Brazilian Shot On Video (SOV) to have national distribution via VHS tapes that were marketed in stands at grindcore, death metal and punks shows, becoming a reference (at the time) in the national underground. The video was filmed with a VHS camera and mounted from video to video, in an analog way.
Directed by Petter Baiestorf, Hideous Creatures leans on a strong ensemble — E.B. Toniolli, Petter Baiestorf, Ronald Kojoroski — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1993.
