A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This is a weird one about an alien that comes through the TV and absorbs people. It's trying to be a comedy with some gore and some of it works really well, like the Gramps character, but other parts fall flat, like the valley girl daughter. Not gory enough to be horror and not funny enough to be comedy, it falls in the middle and never really reaches the top. Worth watching but it's no classic.

TerrorVision is rather a interesting movie titles when i was searching for some good old cheesy horror movie and now i finally know why.From the wacky sitcom like characters to the awesomely bad fashion sense this movie is just scream the 80s and i love it.The monster look cool and there are many gross out gore scene but the sexual innuendo in this movie is surprisingly heavy.I'm not sure the parent is suitable to raising children when the whole house decorate with nude pictures and they often have an orgy with strange people.Other than that it still a very fun horror comedy so check it out if you have time

Enjoyment of this ultra-cheesy sci-fi / horror / comedy depends on one's tolerance for complete and total silliness, shamelessly hammy performances, and an aggressively tacky visual approach. This is indeed utter garbage, but it may prove to be irresistible to some B movie fanatics. After all, everything about it just screams the 1980s. The special effects are very, very crude but very, very amusing, and there's absolutely no shortage of slime as this daft story plays out. It gets off to a good start with a catchy title tune performed by The Fibonaccis, then proceeds to descend into cartoonish lunacy.A great big gross creature - looking like a cross between a bulldog and a toad - is disposed of by aliens on a distant planet and is beamed down to Earth by the satellite dish of goof ball swinger Stanley Putterman (Gerrit Graham, who takes the overacting honours). The movie mostly deals with the reactions of Stanley's family and assorted others as the creature goes about its business of gobbling up everything in sight.Certainly this has got a fine B movie cast going for it. The always welcome cult icon Mary Woronov plays Stanley's wife Raquel, Chad Allen and the delightful, foxy Diane Franklin are their kids Sherman and Suzy, Jon Gries is dorky metal head O.D., Bert Remsen is the nutty Grampa who swears by lizard tails, Alejandro Rey and Randi Brooks are swinging couple Spiro and Cherry, Sonny Carl Davis is the hapless Norton, Ian Patrick Williams pops by briefly as police officer Nutky, and the ubiquitous Frank Welker does the voice of the monster.In addition to the aforementioned song, there's a decent score by Richard Band, impressive production design and set decoration, and lots of effects; the creature itself is the work of John Carl Buechler and his crew at MMI.Objectively speaking, it's not exactly a "good" movie, but it is fun, and may serve as a real blast from the past for people who just ate up stuff like this when it was new.Six out of 10.

This movie is underrated. With the overacting, wild colorful costumes, the gooey effects, Mary Woronov, and a wacky set, this movie has everything that makes an instant 80's classic. So why does everyone seem to hate it? I'm starting to think its because they either don't realize its a comedy, they don't like 80's humor, or they haven't seen enough 80's movies for it to really sink in. If you like dark comedies and low budget 80's horror, I would definitely recommend this. The soundtrack is great. The house's unusual interior decorating theme is memorable. This movie really showcases the fascination that 80's people had with 80's technology, fashion, and probably cocaine, which I'm assuming is the reason people used to think shoulder pads looked cool..
