That was an excellent one.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

This is recommended to be seen by everybody. And many times. And (IMHO) this is suitable for even under 10 year old persons, if you 1st tell the humor ideology (maybe the document is needed to see before the film). Almost zero budget and the results where about "The Thing" class effects and gore. Best in its genre. Well, maybe Braindead is as good... ;)

If you enjoy cheesy humor, bad special effect, blood, gore and bad acting, then this is the movie for you to enjoy. This movie is one of those so bad it is good. But the reason for me to give it 3 is because it is slow paced, and for most part i didn't find it humorous. through out the whole movie i was thinking to watch another movie. I admit i have seen worser movie but this is on a top 10 list of bad movie. My biggest issue with this movie is I felt like they just did something random, the sound effects was awful, and the acting was to much over the top, not anything could be taken seriously in this movie. I know that also was the point, but i guess it is just not my kind of fun. Maybe i am the one with "bad taste".

I really liked this movie, it started slow but once it got going it was really enjoyable and sickening at the same time. There is an ungodly amount of blood in this movie, but, in a comical fashion (you have to watch it to understand what I mean by that). But, what I liked most about it was how it mocked Horror, Police/Swat Dramas but still managed to have a good story, bizarre as all hell, but still a very unique interesting story.The only bad thing about the movie imo was the initial slow pace... once you get about 20 minutes into it things really start to get interesting.It's one of those movies where you will love it, or hate it.I loved it.

Well, even Peter Jackson had to start from somewhere...This movie is pretty bad. It's actually a watchable movie, but I really can't comprehend the critics claiming how awesome this movie is. Yeah, I do give credit on how this flick was made in the 80's with a very low budget and resources. And how it took like 4 years to make and how Peter Jackson put effort in it's completion (including making the props). But let's get real, if this movie was made by some film student that didn't make a name for him/herself. I wonder if the critics would be all over this movie in a positive light. This movie is inspiring in a way, how someone that made this sort of movie can actually become one of the most successful directors out there. For a director that is a beginner this movie ain't so awful. However the structure and cinematography to even the choreography is just plain downright bad. Maybe this is suppose to be one of those movies that is so bad, it's good. Or it's getting some really positive reviews because it's directed by Peter Jackson and has that old retro cult vibe going for it. This movie is different from other alien invasion movies with random people trying to stop a alien invasion in that there is development for this flick nor a exposition. It just starts with couple of youngsters trying to stop cannibal aliens by killing them off. Overall this is a watchable flick with the mentality that it's Peter Jackson's first movie and it was made with very limited resources.6/10
