My Rating: 6.5/10

Would I watch it again? It's likely

This is cheesy fun all the way through. Thomerson carries and sells this picture. He's a riot. It's super low budget and it shows. If they had an extra $50 to throw in you see it on the screen. The humor is dry and silly, the special effects are cheap and clever, and the acting is often pretty bad (not from Thomerson) but it all comes together as a fun movie. It's best with friends, of course, and with a run time of 79 minutes there's not too much time to get bored. That's only an hour and 19 minutes to throw yourself at some cornball fun. Dig?
