Only took me 25 years to go from seeing this on the shelf at my local video rental to finally seeing it.
I'm actually sad it did take me this long. I would have loved the hell out of as a kid. It's a 90s creature-feature delight. Unfortunately, many of these kinds of films aren't actually good in any regard besides being mindless fun. But that's a-okay with me!

I, however, was completely invested in the brother's rather budding relationship. If it weren't for the opening text, I could have seen this ending differently.
Greatest horror comedy of all time. A horror movie buff and filmmaker's wet dream. It's a milestone in the genre, and I believe for cinema in general.
