Even though TROMA was still writing and producing their own movies in the 1980s, this isnt one of them and its why it has big name actors and actresses. Llyod is a cheap-skate three letter person, so he would NEVER pay for real actors, nor make a movie with this level of production value. Stella Stevens, Claude Atkins, out of his price range. Identifying young talent like Paul Walker and "Fergie" nope, the man has ZERO talent all the talent in that family went to his brother Charles, and NOT to Lloyd. Lloyd would never spend money on REAL actors (as he is known to regularly NOT pay those he does hire). Meaning, no real actor would waste their time on one of his "productions".
This is a film TROMA distributed by them in the USA in the 1980s, then bought and owned and released on DVD in the late 90s, which is ironically when TROMA stopped producing films that werent just complete garbage.
That said, what ruins this low budget gem is the creature. Just terrible, and while I know the entire movie is a parody based on bad monster films, I just wish they had designed a better looking and more believable ugly creature, but I guess that would ruin the parody if it didnt look like a man in a cheap rubber suit.
Anyways, its just too bad Troma owns this film, hopefully Kaufmann passes soon so Tromas video library can be sold to better film producers/distributors/etc.
