El terror llama a su puerta

It's quite good. The lot is here, zombies, aliens, slasher, and slugs, in fact the silliness is that it doesn't know which one to use. The opening scene makes you think it is an alien film, then slugs, then a slasher then zombies.

Fun in parts, but most of all no one seems to care that there is something out there that is killing the fraternity. It's very much an "oh, okay" movie.

For its time, the special effects are exceptionally good although the cat and the dog who have been turned into, well, zombies I think, are quite dodgy. But that's the attraction. It is an 80's B movie that everyone will love to watch. It doesn't take anything serious throughout. Have a laugh and watch it.

This is a comedy horror gem!! Its corny its campy its 1980s its awesome!! Dont take it serious because you can't it's a fricking comedy horror!! I laughed a lot, I saw this way back in 1988 and enjoyed it then on VHS now I own the bluray it's in my must watch once a year collection. Like I said dont over judge and you'll enjoy this 1980s romp!!

This movie is so super cool. I love this movie. Even though the stars are like second - billing , this movie is still like no other - its original all in it's own right. Had to be a drive - in film from the looks of the release date. Wish I seen it there! If you have a slug in you , on you or around you - to say the least - you're totally bumming. 80s comedy - horror at its best. Makes you laugh and scares you into jumping out of your seat. Spooky. Funny and different make this a favorite of mine...and maybe yours! I rate this 9 / 10

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 had never heard of it before, and I genuinely hope this is considered something of a cult classic. It is very much a B-movie, but don't let that sway you against it.

If 1980s horror movies are your thing, then I'm sure this one will have bags of appeal. At times it's outrageous, and at times it's absolutely hilarious.

Most of the hallmarks of an 80s horror movie are there: goofy dude gets the girl, female nudity, dumb mean jocks; it's as you'd expect.

There is some rather decent makeup, and for the time, some pretty good special effects. One thing this film definitely has is atmosphere.

I thought Jason Lively was rather good.

8/10.

I'm guessing that if you like 'B-movies' then the title will tip you off towards everything you really need to know about this film. It's cheesy as hell... but great fun (if you like that sort of thing).

For what is effectively a teenage zombie black comedy horror, it starts off squarely in the 'science fiction' territory as some revolting aliens (with unreadable subtitles!) eject a pod of - er something - out into space, which then ends up in a small American town. Guess what... this intergalactic goo doesn't go down too well with us humans and, before long, the town is infested with alien zombies and mutant brain-slugs.

So, if you've seen one horror B-movie then you probably have a rough idea of what to expect here. The acting isn't that great. The plot is daft and the gore is plentiful. So, if you like that sort of thing, you'll have a blast here. Especially as the characters are actually pretty good fun. You often get cardboard cut-outs who you have to force yourself to follow through the story, just so you can get to the next special effects-laden splatterfest, but here they're well-written and rather humourous. Tom Atkins is about the most famous name on the cast - he plays the cop in charge of investigating the weird sightings/murders on campus, but the younger cast-members are all very watchable, too.

Because this was made in the eighties, all of us who like 'practical' effects, rather the computer-generated ones will have a blast at the fact that the brain slugs are beautifully animated and the aliens (for their albeit too small on-screen appearance) are up there with anything featured in 'Star Wars.' It's also quite a 'knowing' kind of film. Like 'Scream' did in the nineties, it - lovingly - mocks the genre it sits in and often nods towards the clichés you'd normally expect from film of this nature.

If you like films full of ridiculous, cheesy black comedy horror, then definitely check this one out. I can't believe I've only just discovered it in 2020 (at least something good has come out of this year!).
