About

If you enjoy sleazy, over-the-top ’80s creature horror with big laughs and bigger gross-out moments, this should hit the spot; Not for you if you want serious scares, smart characters, or subtle gore like Pieces.

Pros: outrageous creature premise; gnarly gore moments; funny one-liners | Cons: dumb character choices; uneven pacing; awkward dubbing at times
