Review of Xtro (1982) by Bill M — 09 Aug 2016
If you are a gore hound and love weird, dark, twisted 80's horror flicks from the vhs age and the sort of gloopy, gross, slimy effects you would usually get in films of that era, then you will dig the hell out of Xtro.
It's one fucked up film if I do say so, full of the sort of insane "what the fuck am I looking at"? sort of imagery that I love to see. It starts off as a simple alien abduction story, with a dad and husband getting taken by a big bright light in the sky, but then things veer off .
....somewhere else... violently, shit gets flat out demented by the midway point especially, with the arrival of a terrifying evil midget clown brought to life by a kid with alien mind powers. Seriously, it's no masterpiece, but you really need to just see this thing, it's a disgusting delight, you truly never know where it's going to take you next or what depraved bizarreness is going to occur.
A nasty, batshit crazy little gem.
