Featured review
An alien parasite is sent to Earth, it lays dormant for some years, but soon begins transforming people into killer zombies.
I watched this for the first time today, I'd never heard of it, I genuinely hope this is considered something of a cult classic.
If 1980's horror movies are your thing, then I'm sure this one will have bags of appeal, at times it's outrageous, at times it's absolutely hilarious.
Most of the hallmarks of an 80's horror are there, goofy dude gets girl, female nudity, dumb, mean jocks, its as you'd expect.
Some rather decent makeup, and for the time, some pretty good special effects, one thing this film definitely has is some atmosphere.
Jason Lively is rather good I thought.
8/10.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Fred Dekker was asked during an interview why J.C. (Steve Marshall) is handicapped, he replied, "There's no reason aside except that we just don't see it. You can make a movie with a character who's handicapped without the story being about the fact that he's handicapped."
- GoofsDuring the scene when Chris and J.C. are confronted, one shot shows the second-unit AD clearly in the background waving towards people off camera to stay out of the shot.
- Quotes
Detective Cameron: I got good news and bad news, girls. The good news is your dates are here.
Sorority Sister: What's the bad news?
Detective Cameron: They're dead.
- Alternate versionsGerman theatrical and VHS releases were cut for violence to secure "Not under 16" rating from FSK. All cuts have since been waived with the German Blu-ray release with the same "Not under 16" rating.
