Goofs:

In many scenes in this movie you can see that the location of the events changes, from one place to another totally different place. Even in the same scene the location may change between shots. This happens because the movie took most of its scenes from other movies.

Quotes:

Sheriff Jim Tanner: [after Barbara shows him a large sharp object just removed from a dead victim] Is that a claw?!?
Barbara Phillips: No, that's a tooth.
Sheriff Jim Tanner: We're gonna need bigger guns.

pathetic

My brother-in-law and his wife brought the movie over one night to watch on video. This should have given me the first clue that it would be horrible. It was. From the very first frame to the last this movie is terrible. It does not even quite register as a "B" movie. Maybe an N or a P. One of the worst 5 movies I've ever seen. From the rubber raptor-on-a-stick to the still-breathing corpses in the car to the beyond horrible closing lines, this movie isn't worth watching if you've received it for free.

Skip this one altogether--unless you want to play Mystery Science Theatre with your friends, it will provide good ammunition.
