This film has a high rating of a movie I may like, over 4 stars, and Fred Dekker, the guy who directed Monster Squad, is also directing this. It was made in 1986. And then here’s the synopsis via IMDB.
Alien brain parasites, entering humans through the mouth, turn their host into a killing zombie. Some teenagers start to fight against them.
Well, I’m sold. Time to eat a grilled ham and swiss and enjoy this.
WOW, we have midget aliens shooting at another of their species who are trying to escape the ship. Holy fuck, this is seriously how you start the movie? The alien that was running away managed to launch this tube he had into space. And now Smoke Gets In Your Eyes play, which I love. We are on Sorority row in 1959. Ohhh, “Put your head on myyyyy shoulders”, I love the music in this. 50’s and 60’s music is great. Way better than most of today’s garbage. This couple was in a car and then the tube comes flying in from the atmosphere and lands nearby. Well, shit goes awry. And we go from black and white and fast forward to 1986 and there are 2 guys, self-described “lame-oids”. One guy sees a new hot chick, and she is smoking hot. Well, he wants to find out her name, but she is a Beta at the college. Jill Whitlow is the actress’ name. She hasn’t done much work for 20 years sadly.
I know I sometimes say too much, so this one I am gonna let play out and give some final thoughts at the end. Hot chick just showed her tits!!!! Fucking A, is it Christmas already? I just got done saying that was no chance in hell of the hot chick showing her tits. Miracles can happen, they can happen to you! This movie certainly has a sense of humor in the same vein as Monster Squad. Just witnessed hot chick telling off the Bradster, and gave him the fishing reel middle finger followed by girls clapping for her. Yup, I am happy.
Nice, in the bathroom, once one of the _______ goes up JD’s pants, he is on the floor crawling, and for less than a second, you can see “GO Monster Squad” written on the wall.
Hey, the girls are getting ready for a big dance, and there’s a shower….and not one, but two topless women. Thank you! We just had a head rip open followed by a flame thrower. Yeah, that’s a The Thing reference!!!
It wrapped up. That was a very fun B horror movie. The acting was as expected, the cheese factor was high. The story was very similar to that of Slither, which is coming this week potentially. One thing that truly impressed me was that they not only used attractive girls, but they had them dress and their hair in a way that wasn’t dated by and large. Like some 80’s chicks in movies were only hot in the 80’s. These ladies had more of a timeless appeal. If anything, the guys were much more dated with looks and terms, and even The Bradster. You’re not getting the world’s greatest film, but you will laugh, and at the end, you should walk away pretty happy and content. That’s how I look at it. I’d absolutely watch it again. I’m going with a 6.3.
Final Rating: 6.3
