Grampa Putterman: I've said it before and I'll say it again, war stories and monster movies are educational. They're survival-oriented. They always neutralize the enemy in the end.

Cult-Trash

Stan (Gerrit Graham) installs a state-of-art satellite TV system for his dysfunctional family. However, he accidentally picks up a signal from another planet and his television system becomes the gateway between the two planets. A ravenous alien creature comes to his apartment and only their son Sherman (Chad Allen) sees the monster, but his parents do not believe in the boy.

"TerrorVision" is a cult-trash from the 80´s and a highly entertaining sci-fi. The characters and the situations are hilarious but maybe the funniest scene is Medusa meeting the last hope to save Earth, Pluthar. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "A Visão do Terror" ("The Terror Vision")
