Description

A zombie activated by forces from another world embarks on a grisly killing spree in this wonderful regional romp from the last great days of the drive-in. Not much is happening on a typical Saturday night in Little Rock, Arkansas, apart from college campus panty raids and cuties in scanties heating up the hormones of local frat cats on the prowl. Suddenly a flaming meteor crashes into a nearby swamp and unleashes a lifeform so terrifying it defies description or destruction!

Like the Kramer picture, you won't be able to turn away.......2006-06-29

The Day It Came To Earth has to be seen to be believed. There are movies that are bad, but fun (such as Killer Klowns)--but this one is so mind-blowingly bad, you will be slack-jawed before it is half over. The basic plot is that a meteor crashes to earth just after a witness to testify against the mob is bumped off and dumped into a lake. Said witness is reanimated by the meteor and for some odd reason begins to walk. After the meteor is discovered by our two heroes and taken to the resident geology professor (George Goebel!) to sort out, the reanimated corpse for yet another odd reason begins trekking all over hell's half-acre to recover it. The police detective is the typical skeptic who makes this astounding leap in logic and concludes the true nature of the meteor and is able to deduce the classification of the corpse: geological gaseous goon===his words, not mine! Perhaps the scene that says it all for this movie is when one of our heroes, Eddie, is making out with this totally hot blonde in his car, and she pants that she is ready for him to take her right here and now...and he decides to go "to the bathroom" into the bushes-and then that walking corpse appears and literally catches him pants down. Don't worry, this isn't giving anything away in the movie. The sound quality is decent, and the transfer is presentable. If this movie has any strengths, it is in the squareness of both the male and female lead characters. Oh, to actually meet someone like them in real life!

Universal heart-throb and international mega-star, Wink Roberts headlines this gripping tale of alien vengeance. Gangsters gun down an informant and dump his body in a nearby swamp (the world's cleanest). A meteorite splashes into the same swamp, causing the dead guy to rise from his watery grave, right next to the local college! Sounds like a murder rampage movie, right? Wrong! Although the zombified stooly has opportunities aplenty, he only kills the two rats who offed him. The college kids, hideously annoying as they are, are quite safe. George Goebel plays the college professor w/ near-lifelike precision. Watch for a very young, very cute Rita Wilson as Debbie. And don't forget Wink Roberts, in the days before his inate talents were fully recognised...

A humerous representation of an Alien landing.......1999-01-23

What would happen if a pair of chattering teeth came from one of the moons of Jupiter to inhabit a human corpse and wreak havoc on homosexual college students? I really didn't know until I saw this movie. If Mystery Science Theater took requests I would think that this movie would be perfect for them. Let me tell you this movie was so low budget that the dubbing was at least a fourth of a second off the whole way through. If it wasn't for the lack of dialouge, plot, good camera work, and dazzling special effects I would have given this movie five stars but it was funny and what else was I going to do for 48 minutes (I fast forwarded through most of it) so I decided to give it a 2. You should see it anyway though because then I'll know that someone else had to watch it too. We can't let great low budget movies vanish from the video archives. We can't let that happen!
