Submitted by Anonymous  (Sep 17, 2005) Now I grew up in the 80's and I have much fondness for the horror films that came out of that decade. Call them cheesy, stupid, whatever you want - they beat the crap out of most of the Hollywood garbage being aimed at the kiddies these days.
I like my films goofy, gory, slimy, gross... and sleazy isn't so bad depending on how the sleaze is handled. I love this movie and have nothing bad to say about it. This film harkens back to the grand old days of being half awake at three in the morning and catching a nice gooey creature feature on Cinemax before it became all softcore porn and blockbuster hits.
Cool special monster effects by John Buechler (where did you go dude?)starring Gerrit Graham, Mary Woronov, and that little Chad kid from some 80's TV show - I can't remember, I'm tired.
The Putterman's just got their super duper new satellite cable hookup perfected when, at the same time, an alien being is blasting its "pet" space garbage off the planet because it has become too aggressive. The creature is blasted off the planet via electrical impulse and directly into the Putterman satellite network.
What ensues is just hillarious and gross as the "swinging parents" get more then they bargained for when they bring company home for a good time. This movie is just loads of fun and wacked out!!
I highly recommend it over most of the crap coming out these days although I am more then anxious to see James Gunn's 80's throwback alien infection film "Slither" due out in January.
