TerrorVision

1986 · 85 min

A gleefully silly, neon-soaked creature feature that plays like a live-action cartoon, full of tacky sets, goofy monsters, and knowing winks.

Tagline: People of Earth: Your planet is about to be destroyed... We're terribly sorry for the inconvenience.
Overview: After Stanley Putterman installs a state-of-the-art satellite dish in his backyard, a strange monster leaps off the screen and needs to feed on humans for survival. The Putterman children Sherman and Suzy—along with Suzy's metalhead boyfriend O.D.—are left to figure out what to do.
How it feels: Campy, absurd, satirical and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Family, media, isolation, survival
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
