Review of Munchies (1987) by Jason D — 09 Oct 2008
My goodness! What a terrible movie. Munchies is nothing more than a piss poor ripoff of the superior Gremlins films (which are also referenced numerous times throughout this movie for some odd reason).
The story is about a father and son on an archeological dig who uncover a secret tomb with a little monster running around doing Gizmo voices. Soon, they take the creature back to America where it gets loose and blah, blah, blah.
The creatures voices are done by two gents who have both worked on the Gremlins films (no surprise), but if you have time, check out the imdb page of Frank Welker, who has an amazing list of some of your favorite cartoon voices.
Never knew he had done so many awesome voices. Also, look for small, pointless, and wasted roles from Robert Picardo (The Howling), Paul Bartel (Death Race 2000 director), and Wendy Schall (Francine from American Dad).
Overall, this movie was lame and very unfunny.
