Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

VideoXploiter This movie is pure fun. The entire cast was funny and memorable. Mary Woronov and Gerrit Graham play the swingin' parents, along with Alejandro Rey and Randi Brooks as their wood-be partners. The interaction between these characters makes up a large portion of the movies funniest moments. Diane Franklin is adorable as the 80s-fashion-victim/older sister. Her boyfriend, played by Jon Gries, is an entertainingly moronic metal-head. Bert Remsen plays the grandpa, who is an over-the-top military nut. Chad Allen was OK as the child-protagonist, though the idea of making a kid the main hero was one of my minor gripes. Jennifer Richards brought the laughs (and cleavage) as the Elvira-esque 'Medusa'. The star of the movie is the Monster, who's a gooey mess of eye-balls and fangs, yet somehow still cute. The puppetry, while limited, is well executed, giving said Monster a lot of character. My second gripe was the ending, while 'disappointing' would be too strong a word, 'unexpected' seems more suitable, especially considering my first gripe. Overall, this is an immensely entertaining flick, one that is solely a product of the 80s.

Aaron1375 This horror/comedy is excessive and crazy and has its moments. It is not great by any means, but it has a grotesque monster so there is that. It is also a Charles Band film so even if you do not like one of his films, you will not have to suffer long because it is going to be short. I wonder if he does that on purpose. As I said, I see his name in the film, I do not necessarily expect a good film; however, I do know I will be watching a horror film that will be over in under an hour and a half. Every now and then you get an entertaining film too. This one had some moments, but it was kind of stupid at the same time. The main actor in the film is a kid and he is not all that good, not all that bad. He kind of sets the tone for the acting through the movie and that is excessive. The parents are over the top, the grandfather is over the top, the sister is over the top and pretty much everyone is over the top. That being said, I do believe it is on purpose in this one, I just think that is the tone of the film. An over exaggerated over the top mess! Even the monster is an over the top mess, but it looks rather good and much better than the computer generated monsters in B movies today.The story has some icky looking monster inside a containment unit where it is seemingly turned into energy and jettisoned into space. Unfortunately, this energy beam bounces off numerous planets and ends up blasting the Putterman's newly installed satellite dish. Soon the television is picking up an amazing amount of channels including one that has a slimy monster that does not do anything but stare at those watching the television. The son and grandpa soon run afoul of the beast as it has the ability to transmit itself in and out of the television. Chaos abounds as mom and dad come home with another couple as they are swingers, the daughter brings home a heavy metal freak and the local horror host stops by to enjoy the madness! The film is very 80's and I do believe the film purposely goes excessive with the decade. The parents are swingers and their house is decorated in a style that is reminiscent of the family in Beetlejuice if they were more into sexual art. The boyfriend is into heavy metal, the son enjoys hanging out with his grandpa who is into military actions and then there is the daughter who is sporting the multicolored hair and who is very pretty by the way. By far the cutest gal in the film, though the actress playing the horror movie hostess does have the best boobies in the flick.So the film was okay in parts, bad in parts but even when it is bad, I have to think that it was being done purposely. It just seems they way the film plays out is exactly as they wanted it to be and though it is groan inducing at times, I still have to think that this is what they wanted. The film actually looks rather good considering it was released in 1986, I watched another film earlier tonight from 1987 and it looked much older than this one did. The monster is shown a lot in this one and there is stuff going on quite a bit. This film did something though that happens a lot in horror films, they killed off people too quickly. One minute there are lots of people to kill, and in less than five minutes everyone is nearly dead! Still, it was quick paced and it did not last long, sure it is always nice to have the kills spread out, but it does not hurt this film too much. Just hard to rate this one, like I said, it is kind of bad, but once again, I think that was done purposely.

BA_Harrison While tinkering with his new satellite dish in the back yard, Stan Putterman receives a transmission from outer space that beams a ravenous mutated creature into his home. Later, as Stan and his wife Raquel entertain a pair of fellow swingers, their kids, Sherman and Suzy, try to tame the alien beast, which has started to eat members of the family, starting with their grandpa.Charles Band's Empire International Pictures churned out numerous low-budget B-movies in the '80s; some were atrocious (Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, Ghoulies, some of them were actually quite good (Trancers, Reanimator), and a few were just plain silly. TerrorVision definitely falls into the latter camp, being an offbeat sci-fi/horror/comedy full of bizarre situations, quirky characters, and crazy special effects, all served up with a garish aesthetic.The result is totally bonkers but quite a lot of fun, the entertainment factor helped immensely by a memorably daft monster (that liquefies and assimilates its victims) and suitably wacky performances from a game cast that includes statuesque cult B-movie favourite Mary Woronov, the lovely Diane Franklin (Amityville II, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure), Gerrit "Beef from Phantom of the Paradise" Graham, and that blonde who sings Duke of Earl in The Man With Two Brains.

FlashCallahan A civilisation on a distant planet has found a way to solve its garbage problem: turning it into energy and beaming it into outer space. A flaw in this system is found when the signal is accidentally picked up on Earth by the Putterman Family's home satellite dish. While this would ordinarily be just another mess, this particular transmission contains a hungry trash monster who quickly begins snacking on the Puttermans and their guests. Only young Sherman Putterman has any clue what is going on, but nobody will believe him. Is there any hope for the Earth.....Well one thing that is amazing about this film is the house, its amazing to look at and the film does spend ninety nine percent of the time in here, so you are literally awe inspired nearly every frame of the film, luckily taking you away from the clunky narrative and not very good story.It's more of a sitcom than a real sci fi horror, I could have seen this being made into a thirty minute comedy series around this time, and it would have been great, the two kids hiding the monster, and the creature eating a special guest star every week.The acting is over the top but intentional, and all in all its a hoot from beginning to end.
