Cheese on Toast, 15 September 2000
Author: termy-2 from Port Seton, Scotland

Perhaps the cheesiest, bloodiest Sci-Fi movie you'll ever see, this is pure entertainment from start to finish. Plenty of the obligatory 80's gore on display, a few quite sick moments & lots of amateurish acting...how can you go wrong!?! If you're a sci-fi horror fan this will be right up your street. Just don't expect 'Alien', OK?
