This was really bad, but I liked it. It’s a low-budget monster movie that appears to have spent its entire budget on the monster… and it’s a good one.
The plot, if it matters, is that a shapeshifting monster prowls the woods, kills people, and makes people’s heads explode with its banshee wail. Local cops and loadies get together to try to kill it and mostly get picked off.
But, I don’t know. Something about this one is fun. The acting is corny but maybe a touch better than it usually is in movies this cheap, and everyone seems really committed, and the action kind of doesn’t let up and isn’t all bad, despite the incredibly silly scenes of people’s heads exploding or being ripped off like a piece of paper being torn.
The monster, not the cheesy video clichéd video distortion effects that indicate when someone you’re looking it is the monster in disguise but the monster itself, is pretty good. I guess they picked the right thing to spend their entire budget on.
I thought it was fun even though pretty terrible. The director has like 26 movies to his credit, many of them TV movies, which I guess helps it stay above a certain line.
I dunno, I found it entertaining. It was bad but it managed pretty consistently not to be offensively terrible.
