In a "near future" a group of five people who've
survived a war, hides from an acid rain in an
abandoned factory where they soon must battle
various kind of monsters and a virus that turn
them into demons.
80s doesn't get any more fun than this. There
are few things more hilarious than poor,
low-budget attempts at doing a cool sci-fi flick.
This was actually produced by B-movie queen
Linnea Quigley who also stars as one of our
doomed heroes. She's the blonde. ‘Nuff said.
Undiscriminating horror should really get what
they bargain for in this grade Z-flick. There's
gore, unmotivated sex scenes, campy special
effects and a so-called plot that makes no
sense. It also pays homage (read: rip offs)
several classic horror movies, most notable
Alien, Evil Dead and It's Alive.
The special effects are without question the
show of the film. The main monster is supposed
to be the highlight of the effects but is
practically a guy in a rubber suit and looks
like something from a 50s matinee monster movie.
Then there's a non-functional rat monster (which
like the rest of the monsters are given no
explanation) which the actors are obviously
throwing at themselves and battling without the
monster moving. Then there's 80s-typical neon
laser effects and a killer baby which is pretty
creepy until it starts moving and you realize
someone's got his hand up its plastic ass.
Otherwise when it comes to direction, acting,
script and camerawork it's all expectedly bad.
Linnea Quigley is a great scream queen but
nothing more. Acting abilities doesn't stretch
further than having to blurt out stupid lines
and run around with big guns. Don't miss the
outrageous opening sequence consisting only
of a woman sitting in a room and hearing a
strange noise on the other side of the door.
She says "Hello? Is someone there?" a dozens
of times. Guess if she finally goes to open
the door...? So stupid.
Some blood splatter and lots of victims
puking up slime a la Evil Dead but nothing
to brag about.
80s synth score. Terrifying.
A hilariously bad 80s sci-fi flick with fun
special effects and bad work done by both cast
and crew. Probably only film you get to watch
Linnea Quigley battle a giant rat monster -
and it may be worth it.
