This film is the exact reason why I don’t agree with those that constantly repeat the “axiom” that modern horror is worthless and that things were better in the 80s… Bullshit on top of bullshit; time and the memories of the old days are very powerful. If someone made something like this today (in every aspect with regards to quality), everybody would ignore it. (2012.06.27)

In this mishmash of 50s monster horror and 80s teen comedies, Fred Dekker makes it very clear from start to finish how big a fan of B-grade sci-fi horror he is. But rather than playing more with genre conventions, he just piles one film reference on top of another, and sometimes it's too much (every other character here is named after a horror director, etc.). For fans of horror films of the time, though, it's a nice throwback. (2018.07.19)

Incarnated by Tom Atkins, the witty Detective Cameron enlivens the whole movie! There’s plenty of humour, especially at the end with the staggering finale. With so much fun in store, one is willing to forgive the horror’s obvious negatives, namely the stiff actors and the striking ‘B-ness’. For B movies fans, however, this might be a little gem even when it comes to the bad sides. (2018.05.29)
