This is why I have a Shudder membership! Went in cold on this one - I knew of the movie but had never seen it - and I was NOT disappointed. One of the better 80's offerings, totally over-the-top and hilarious. Recommended if you're into blue, talking penis-monsters.
Such a classic. Been a long time since I watched
Just a wild ride
“He needs brains, I need his juice.” Hahaha. I had never seen this before. Loved the practical effects. I miss the 80’s so much. Definitely out there, funny, charming and a little sad.
This movie is insane, but in the best possible way. It’s a fun hallucinatory romp you won’t forget.
