Not without being somewhat entertaining in a childish way.

Borrowed from too many other horror movies to be any good.

I would have been giggling the entire time I was making this film. An outlandish premise is given the exact right balance of straight-laced presentation and giddy you've-got-to-be-kidding-me delight.

Very glad and lucky to own this on vhs. It reminds me of movies like Slither or Body Snatchers, but is a lot grittier and with some humor. McNaughton has proved himself as a well rounded director including this, Wild Things and Henry(POASK)
