Rating: 12/20 (Rat's Ass: 3.14(2)/20; Fred: 9/20; Carrie: 5/20; Bryan: 8/20; Libby: 13/20)
Plot: An alien thing finds its way to earth via a satellite dish and begins devouring a family and a couple swingers who pop over for some swinging.
Well, I was going to post the Facebook conversation, but it would be pointless. You should just Facebook friend request me and watch the bad movie of the week with us--9:30 on Sundays.
This is a fun slab of 80's sci-fi comedy with some gross and cheap effects, cheaper laughs, and a tan guy. There's a shift that threw most of us off about midway through when it changes from a monster-on-the-rampage-eating-unlikable-people movie to something like a dopey E.T. Then, it sort of changes back and doesn't wimp out at the end which I liked. My pals were entertained by some perverse artwork in the swingers' home. Bryan seemed slightly annoyed by the whole thing but even said, "That one face down ass up pic in the bedroom was pretty good." Fred didn't like the green blood. Libby liked the flick the most, contrasting it with Waterworld, a movie that her husband Fred said was "good," a comment that probably led to a huge argument and an eventual divorce. The guy's enjoyed an Elvira-esque television hostess who showed clips from The Giant Claw, Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, and Robot Monster. We were all excited to see Uncle Rico, and I like that the guy that did the "voice" for the monster has 686 acting credits on imdb.com. Frank Welker. He's a good grumbler. This isn't exactly high art, but there are lots of laughs, appropriate since it's supposed to be funny.
