Viewing Notes
This feels like it could be a Charles Band produced film directed by John Carl Beuchler but it isn’t. Instead it’s a cobbled-together disaster of reshoots passed through multiple director’s hands. I really need to pull out the disc and watch the documentaries about the making of this bastard child. I love the creature effects in this though and it’s a fun movie to watch with a crowd. I’d have watched the shit out of this back in the day if it’d just appeared on late night TV.

Def has that Full Moon quality to it. I meant to get the Blu when it was originally released but never did. the mention of the docs during the chat got me curious and when I looked it up on VS there was only ~100 available so I purchased it. If this hit a decade earlier I would’ve watched the shit out of it. It would’ve been my Goonies or Monster Squad. lol

I love it when watching a movie immediately inspires you to go buy it!
