This is a very dumb 80s horror movie about an alien Jabba The Hut-like monster who pops out of T.V.s and eats people. I think what makes this one enjoyable, to me anyway, is the presence of Mary Woronov as the swingin' mom. I probably would rate it even higher if it had Paul Bartel in it. Sadly though he does not show up. What does show up is a heavy metal high-schooler named O.D.(Jon Gries), a valley girl, a swinging Greek fellow(Alejandro Rey), a grenade-tossing, machine gun-toting grandpa and a whole slew of similarly wacky characters. There's also a great theme song and some music by the band W.A.S.P.. Despite the gore being mostly just green blood and piles of slimy goop this one makes for a good drunken movie night viewing with some friends and is better than many things made by Empire Pictures at this time.
