Movie Connections:

Spoofed in Dead End (1985)

Prepare yourself....

In this B-movie catastrophe, a flying saucer (totally obvious and overused) lands in a small town and is being spied on by the Air Force. It lands in a secret place where teenagers hang out. The aliens in this movie don't even look scary at all. In fact, the aliens look more like the Michellin man with a pie stuck on it's face!

A boyfriend and a girlfriend run over one of the aliens with their car. Also, there's these two Air Force officers in the movie who try too hard to be what they're not.....original comic relief characters. In fact the two moronic Air Force make Bartels and Jaymes look like intellectuals! Even Joel and the 'Bots couldn't stand to watch them or this movie for that matter!

This is another B-movie that could only be watched via MST3K. Attack of the Eye Creatures has a bad plot, stupid music, ridiculous characters, and a lot of pointless scenes that will keep you vomiting! Unless of course you watch the MST3K version, only then you will get a lot of laughs! The choice is yours.
