I enjoyed it when it came out but not too much anymore. It was good for it's time. I have watched it in the last year, though and did enjoy it.

Kristy Swanson forever. Pure 90’s… so what’s with all the reviewers calling this an 80’s flick? Objectively not a great film, but a hard classic for those of us that were kids when it came out. Best viewed with a bag of Warheads and a box of dusty Ecto Coolers bought off of eBay.

This movie is pure early 90s chaos in the best and worst ways. It’s goofy, campy, awkward, and somehow still pretty entertaining if you’re in the right mood for it. Not everything lands and the tone is all over the place, but there’s enough charm and personality here to keep it fun. Definitely feels more like a weird cult movie than something polished, which honestly kind of works in its favor.

Terrible but classic

Erm…. Enjoyable I guess? But the effects are a bit goofy and it’s got a lot of cringey scenes, not a good movie overall but I do admit that Donald Sutherland was not that bad but still. I did not like it
