Jeepers C @RT12312147 Mar 19, 2026 I love these 80's cheesy, low budget horror movies. Especially creature features. This was just what I needed on a Friday night. It was a long week, and was the perfect unwind movie. See more xpig332 B @RT69712065 Sep 24, 2025 Cheesy & bad, just what I wanted to see! I miss the 1980’s! See more Raiodesol S @RT32625972 Oct 2, 2023 Unfortunately this movie can't even pull off the "it's so bad it's good" type. Forced sex scenes and very long shooting sequences without much attention makes it drag and maybe you'll end up distracted with something else while very repetitive laser sound fill the room. See more Aug 26, 2016 A sheriff, his partner (work and sexual), and several expendable local deputies fail to kill a single unarmed alien for an hour and a half, ultimately ending in a rushed and anti-climactic showdown. Funnily enough, this joke of a movie was the first film JJ Abrams, of Star Wars and Star Trek fame, ever worked on (he did music and sound effects). Worth watching for the credits alone. For the curious, Nightbeast was legally uploaded to Troma's YouTube Channel for the public to see. Lloyd Kaufman is a great man.

It starts out interesting...spacecraft crashes in a little town and from the wreck comes a homicidal alien. However, we have scenes are extreme tension with the alien, followed people just meandering around without any real sense of urgency or tension. The alien has claws and a head so big there is no way it can fit in its clothes, and to be honest, how does an animal like alien develop space travel or create an intricate space ship with claws like that? The gory scenes were actually pretty decent, but the acting really brought it down. See more Read all reviews
