I guess the modified sharkos in DBS could be called “creatures”. I also attached a pic of two my favorite characters from the movie.
Creature features I’ve seen (which I remember):
Almost everything on this list: https://the-line-up.com/best-creature-feature-films
And almost all of this list: https://m.imdb.com/list/ls560720658/
Cloverfield, Eight Legged Freaks, Spring (2014), a Korean one I am forgetting but has a monster based twist in it.
I wanna watch the movies in this list, have seen Host: https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/arts/colossal-essential-korean-giant-monster-movies-9235430
If you disagree with some of these movies as creature features, feel free to say so. For example, I don’t like the inclusion of alien type movies on this list. I think sentient, extraterrestrial beings (even if hostile towards humans) aren’t “creatures” per se.
I’ve always liked how generally simple it was. Not a massive amount of set or scenery changes; fairly straightforward plot; not too much given away too early about the creature. Plus Justin Long is fun.
I’ve actually driven down the road where most of the driving scenes were filmed, and have driven by the church. It’s a weird back road in Central Florida that is surprisingly hilly. The hills are cool because they obscure the fact that everything around that area is otherwise flat and very Florida lol. It’s just subtle and creepily obscure enough that it works really well.
