Description

A film that could have achieved cult status if they had paid a little more attention to detail... A family with "swinging" parents, a punk rock teenage daughter (Diane Franklin) and a son (Chad Allen) of about twelve who is obsessed with military survival tactics buy themselves a satellite dish which zaps a human hungry monster into their living room.

As the adults around them are devoured, the siblings try to save the planet from the same fate. Intentionally B-ish, in the same sense as something like The Rocky Horror Picture Show is, yet oddly appealing, or so myself and the two others who watched this one with me agreed. At this age Allen could have been Ricky Schroder's twin.
