This was my first attempt at making a movie. It was unabashedly inspired by Edward D. Wood Jr.'s Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959), one of the culprits in making me want to write increasingly meaningless scripts (the other is Jesus Franco).

In 1992, a group of teenagers began recording horror films with VHS cameras in Palmitos, in the west of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Led by Santa Catarina director Petter Baiestorf, the production company came to be called Canibal Filmes. Far from large urban centers and in times of stagnation in Brazilian cinema, the group learned in practice how to make low-budget cinema. The films found their own way of financing and showing to the public. Through reports, photographs, documents and videos, the documentary covers Canibal's early years, retracing the group's efforts and challenges in making independent cinema in a region with no cinematic tradition.

Criaturas Hediondas is one of the first Brazilian Shot On Video (SOV) to have national distribution via VHS tapes that were marketed in stands at grindcore, death metal and punks shows, becoming a reference (at the time) in the national underground. The video was filmed with a VHS camera and mounted from video to video, in an analog way.

The day after the carnage initiated by the Martian scientist, a fleet of spacecraft from Mars is called upon to invade Earth, but Dr. Rottenberg's plans are hampered by two NASA officials, Detective Johnson and Dr. Nagib, called in to investigate. the case.
