Gremlins meets a $50 budget and a lot of questionable decisions.
Practical Effects
Puppet aliens that look like angry stress balls with teeth.
Writing
Tagline promises horny devils; delivers confused rubber monsters.
Director
Steven Paul Contreras
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Steven Paul Contreras never made another feature; Beasties remains his chaotic legacy. The entire budget reportedly came from a single investor who possibly never spoke to him again.
Released during the post-Gremlins creature feature boom, Beasties represents the absolute bottom of the barrel—direct-to-video filler that video stores bought in bulk and nobody rented. It's now a cult artifact of ambition outpacing every single resource available.
