The unlikely story concerns a spaceship that lands on Earth from somewhere a lot less accommodating. On board are the space aliens' grazing animals, the gorgons. These are huge, crab-like monsters that quickly balloon up to a gigantic size and then proceed to devour any humans in sight. Soon the space aliens are split between the loner who would rather forget the gorgons and just stay here, and his two evil opponents. The single good guy appears to be the only hope for saving the people of the earth from turning into a snack food. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Rob Humanick, Suite101.com
If the concept of a giant lobster tickles your fancy, worry not.

Phil Hall, Film Threat
Endearingly silly entry in the so-bad-it's-good genre of Grade Z filmmaking.
-
Stefan Birgir Stefansson, sbs.is
beware of the GARGON! and the alien named Derek.
-
James O'Ehley, Sci-Fi Movie Page
The acting in Teenagers from Outer Space is particularly bad - and the source of most of the movie's unintended hilarity . . .
