Title: Even MST3K can't save the day.
Review: Far be it for me to knock MST3K, but even they can't make this garbage watchable. Honestly, there's just nothing there to work with. As already described, the film for whatever reason, eschews actual dialogue in favor of toneless narration, and the pace of the movie matches the monster: it creeps at you. Now, the boys on the Satelite of Love can do ok with plot wholes, bad acting, bad directing, etc., but they're at their best when they rip on the cruddy dialogue found in the films they watch. Without that, most of the jokes seem forced, or just aren't as clever as they should be. I can't even think of one really great line from Mike (or Joel) and the robots as I can in other episodes. The numerous flaws make "The Creeping Terror" unbearable to watch on its own. But those same flaws make it an unmockable film, even by the experts. Skip this one, and get "Eegah!" or "Pod People" instead.
