Tagline: Killer music. Alien airwaves.

My rating: 6.5/10
Will I watch it again? No.
If this had come out in the mid-80s, I would have eaten this up. It's not that bad. With a fun concept and story mixed with some good acting (for what it is) including the scrummy original MTV VJ, Martha Quinn, some gore and creature effects with a score by Blue Oyster Cult, you've got yourself 88 minutes of goofy fun. Too bad they didn't sleaze it up a bit. That would have made it the horror/comedy/exploitation picture people are clamoring for.
