      • May 27, 2015
        The actors sell this unexplainably-angry-alien-amongst-us spectacle, but only just. You'll watch to see who in the cast you recognize and to watch them go through their paces as this is all too predictable, but after that there is little here to recommend

        The synopsis says that this movie is well acted, but I disagree, the actors were boring. In fact the whole movie wasn't exciting enough to hold my attention. The monster was even boring. There are murders, there's a monster, there's cops trying to stop the monster, and that's it. This is a poor excuse for a monster film. It doesn't make anyone afraid of the dark.

        Fun little crime/horror flick from the late 70's. William Devane is having way more fun than the audience, however.
