Monsters have always been with us. From ancient man drawing creatures on cave walls to storytellers sharing chilling accounts around camp-fires, monstrous tales have been passed down from generation to generation.
And in the last 100 years, creature features have been one of film’s most popular sub-genres, with Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy and The Wolf-Man starring in some of cinema's earliest hits, Godzilla and King Kong having their tales told over-and-over again, and more recent efforts like Alien, The Thing, Gremlins, Hellboy and Cloverfield proving that monsters will always be making audiences scream. A rough-looking Crite.Creature Designers tells the story of the men who birthed these nightmares, allowing the likes of Guillermo del Toro, Rick Baker, Phil Tippett, John Landis and Joe Dante to recount the history of movie monsters and their own place in it.
The anecdotes come thick and fast in this likeable documentary about the artists who craft nightmare fuel for a living. And while it’s far from the definitive story of monsters on film, it’s a hugely entertaining one.
