On Halloween night, a group of irritating twenty-somethings steal a mysterious sack from the porch of a strange old man, not realising that the contents of the bag - pieces of local dogs - are an offering to appease an ancient Celtic deity called the Aos Sí. In meddling with the age-old tradition, the obnoxious youths incur the wrath of the deity, plunging their friend Tim (played by the film's director Matt Sampere) into a night of terror.
It's bad enough that Creeping Death is clichéd, poorly written and badly acted, but add the fact that the film is so dark for much of the time that it's virtually impossible to figure out what is happening and what you have is a real test of one's patience. It's hard to be scared when straining one's eyes (or rolling them at the awful dialogue and dreadful performances). Great job in getting the film off the ground, but zero marks for originality, technical accomplishment, and overall entertainment factor.
