Heatstroke (2008)
4/10
Sleestaks Gone Wild
1 June 2008
Warning: Spoilers
A day at the beach is ruined by a group of Sleestacks. The girl from The Wonder Years is now trying to transform herself from a Bikini model to a Bikini photographer. A bunch of Army people from the bar crash a ultralight into the shoot, causing the model/photographer to demand money from Uncle Sam, instead she gets a ride home from a stranger.

Enter the Sleestacks, they have been hiding in the mountains of Hawaii since Land of the Lost was canceled, entering certain peoples REM sleep and making them have fairly benign dreams. When Uncle Sam won't pay up, the Sleestacks go on a killing spree, slicing throats and melting people with their bad breath. One gets chased to a shiny optical effect and a army guy kills him. Army guy puts his hand into effect (OHHH...SHIIINY!) and gets a parasite from SG1 installed. Some more Army people get killed, prompting the model/photographer to ask a Australian army guy for dating advice.

I nodded off for a while around this part, when I woke up, there was a stock missile frigate shot, then a either a badly rendered CGI missile or a editing mistake, a puff of pixels is seen over a stock shot of a mountain, then Winnie macks the Army guy.

I kind of liked this movie,I just wish the Sci-Fi Channel would either cough up for better CGI effects, or subscribe to the less is more rule. McKeller's other scifi movie about Nanobots Gone Wild is much better though.
