About
You might enjoy this if you like sleazy, old-school creature horror in the vein of Shivers or Alligator, with campy thrills and gore; Not for you if disturbing assault content, nudity, or trashy B-movie excess are dealbreakers.
Pros: wild creature-feature energy; memorable monster designs; gory fun | Cons: disturbing sexual violence; thin story; uneven acting
