Need Help!!!

[Vane]

When i was a small child a film was going to air on television. there was alot of hoopla about it. i was forbidden to view it. The monster had the ability to camouflage (or hide well). Early/Mid 90s

One obvious guess would be Predator.

[Joe]

"mans best friend" comes to mind as well, its most likely predator though.

[akiratubo]

Predator or Predator 2, most likely.  Predator came out in 1987, Predator 2 in 1990.

[Vane]

NOT predator. Im talking about a TV movie. Released on TV. 1995-1996. Slender Monster.

If the monster looked like kind of like the monsters from Tremors, could be Not of this World.

If the monster was humanoid, could be DNA.  It's not a TV movie, but could be mistaken for one.  It's pretty cheap.

Nope not either of those. But the creature was humanoid. All i saw was the trailer and a teenage boy got his finger degloved.

It really depends on the "monster" it could be a Predator rip-off. But I suspect the movie is more of the early cgi effects using Terminator 2 [T2] special effects for stalking (maybe without the morphing ability). Sorry, there is a ton of these movies made between [T2] to 1997 (ok I'm guessing), but there are several that was made-for-cable (Scifi, USA, HBO) many I know I have not seen or even plan to see and lets not forget X-Files...

I think we need more info :)

Tracking this one down could be very difficult, as you never saw the film.  Maybe the monster could cloak, maybe it was just really good at camouflage.  It would help if you could remember anything else.  Was it a science fiction setting or set in a city or a forest?  Anything about the main characters.  Any piece of the movie's tagline you remember.  Also if it was on regular TV or a cable channel.

Some possibilities:

"Within the Rock" (1996)
"Shadowzone" (1990)
"Dark Universe" (1993)

What do you mean about a boy getting his finger degloved?  He was wearing a glove and the monster ripped the glove off of just the finger?

[316zombie]

mimic.

[Vane]

when i say degloved, i mean the skin of his finger got ripped off. Gimmie a sec Ill check that list.

[Vane]

none of those.

[Vane]

Nope. Too far back. Mid-90s release date. the Creature Resembled the one from DNA but it was thinner. Almost Like a Xenomorph from the Alien series.

[Jordan]

Did it look similar to "Reptile" from the Mortal Kombat movie?

[Vane]

actually yes. It looked alot like reptile. oh god, those movies were terrible.
