Review by merklekranz

"The Arrival" has one great thing going for it, a highly imaginative script. An alien parasite from a meteor crash infests a 73 year old grandfather who after coming back from the near death infestation experience begins to rapidly grow younger. A side effect of this fountain of youth syndrome turns him into a killer, who regularly needs estrogen charged blood from female victims. The movie is surprisingly enjoyable for a low budget film. John Saxon, Michael J. Pollard, and Stuart Gordon, are used to good effect. Throw in some nudity, a lesbian love scene, some well placed humor, and all else can be forgiven. Not bad entertainment. - MERK
