| | Only ½ star, but should be in everybody's collection. | Bobo 11/20/2007 | | The invading alien is a turnip-shaped creature with crab-like claws and a face reminiscent of a evil-faced Halloween pumpkin carving. How can you NOT have a copy of this campy treat? (Also note that this movie sports and all-star cast -- uh, for the genre, that is... :) |
