Viewing Notes

This film scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. The hole in the sand that sucked people in, drilling into the back of victims’ necks, the creepy Martian head. Definitely low budget, but it makes great use of what it has.  It’s a bit campy, but still very effective.  Great way to start Halloween month.
