After Stanley Putterman installs a state-of-the-art satellite dish in his backyard, a strange monster leaps off the screen and needs to feed on humans for survival. The Putterman children Sherman and Suzy—along with Suzy's metalhead boyfriend O.D.—are left to figure out what to do.

Neon candy-coloured psychotronic zolo-fied trash oozing goo out of every orifice. Like if Joe Dante went insane and tried to make a Troma film.

Good time. Campy as hell. Love the set and creature design. And what a fun cast; Gerrit Graham (BEEF!), Mary Woronov, Jon Gries all going for it.
