This film is not very scary at all. It was done so much better in Alligator some twenty years ago.

However, it's few saving graces are it's sense of humour and fun. You know who is going to get killed and who won't so it was fairly predictable stuff.

My particular delight was in seeing the wonderful Golden Girl Betty White. Especially because she was playing an unusually foul-mouthed local.

Not high art but I've seen much worse than this.

For the type of film this is I must admit it is quite an enjoyable piece of silliness.

Chevy Chase is on the ball for once as the head of the household which quickly falls apart around him.

My favourite bit is where the squirrel jumps out of the tree and Chevy runs upstairs with it on his back.

Very rewatchable especially around Christmas time. Nice to see a young Juliette Lewis as well - even though she doesn't have much do in the movie.

This certainly isn't one of finest horror films ever made but it does have it's moments but mostly due to its comedy.

The monsters aren't really that scary - especially the big rubbery woman who Kay Lenz turns into - but the monster in the closet was quite effective. I like the bit where he's trying to bury the body in the garden but the monster is still alive and he tries to conceal it as he talks to his neighbour.

No classic - but worth an honourable mention.
