A weird family of '80s stereotypes gets a satellite dish, unfortunately this dish picks up a signal from outer space containing physical garbage from the planet Pluthar. While the parents are out Swinging, and the daughter is out with her rocker boyfriend, O.D., the young sun and his survivalist grampa are first to bear witness to this accidental alien invasion.
Its hard to believe this movie was made in the actual 1980s its so perfect a parody of what stuff from the '80s looks like it seems like its of a much more recent vintage. The flick is weird, very weird.
Trailer time!
Rad! I watched this a few months ago. Great movie. I didn't realize how much this movie terrified me as a kid until I re-watched it. The alien losing pressure in his space suit ruined me for years.
ReplyDeleteI saw this for the first time last week, tanks to the really nice Scream Factory Blu-ray of it. thought it was hilarious, loved the pressure loss in the space suit.
DeleteIt's also got an awesome theme song.
