Review of Nightbeast (1982) by Blais E — 09 Jan 2011
An infrequently-seen but enjoyably scrappy-and-slappy little mid-80's Grade Z horror film depicting a small town's efforts to curtail the bloody swath of devastation a decidedly-unfriendly, fearsomely-fanged, ferocious and fiendish alien bastard initiates on Planet Earth after his ship has crash-landed there.
The acting, as one might expect, is of a middle-school play caliber, but the low-brow, yet zesty special effects, and the creature's joyously-nasty personality and obvious glee in his copiously-blood-soaked undertakings slightly uplift the production from the customary murderous-monster-on-the-rampage tripe that was so plentiful throughout the 1980's.
One of my many "Guilty Pleasures".
