Why it matters
A wild, neon-lit sci-fi horror comedy that turns suburban dysfunction into a grotesque, gadget-fueled nightmare.
- A cult oddity blending body horror with offbeat satire, courtesy of director Thomas Smut
- Practical effects and prosthetics amp up the film’s gooey, grotesque charm in true late-80s B-movie fashion
- Perfect for fans of madcap genre mash-ups who relish weird futures and family dysfunction à la Cronenberg meets The Jetsons
- Equal parts unsettling and absurd, it’s a bizarre time capsule of practical effects era horror comedy that refuses to play it safe
