    Bloody creatures with lots of teeth! Ouch! It's a classic indie monster horror flick from the 80's. Too gruesome for me.

    Great low budget b-movie. Unpredictable, gory, fun, great monsters and just a dab of wackiness make this a perfect popcorn flick. A deadly popcorn flick!

    Incredible! from start to finish, some of the best gore, creature design/effects ever and the ending...wow!

    Ambitious DIY monster movie from the early eighties. This flick is a whole lot of fun... The alien/monster design is somewhere between Gieger's Alien and the plant from Little Shop of Horrors. Every red cent of the budget went into the fx - the acting is horrible, the sound is aw...( read more)ful, and the story is as simple as they come. All that said, it is heads and shoulders above any of the other cheap crap I've watched lately. Those responsible obviously really believed in making this sucker and it is a true labor of love. Fun stuff.

    Oh hell yeah. Pretty straight forward fun creature feature from '83. Has some above average effects and a pretty decent looking monster for the production value. Some absolutely hilarious dialouge as well.

    Fantastic Sci-fi horror shocker is one of the best and overlooked cult classics ever! this has always been a favorite of mine for years, the special effects despite the budget were good and the violence is gory, the music score is funky and this is great fun for any sci-fi and ho...( read more)rror fan around.

    Not interested. I usually avoid horror movies.

    Fun, campy flick that doesnt take itself seriously

    Pretty silly, but it killed some time for me in a strange city when there was nothing on the television.
