TriStar Pictures
Directed by Fred Dekker
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Sony)
Endearing homage to 1950s horror and B-movies updated with 1980s style humor. Alien slugs invade Corman University, in one of many references to horror directors, and take over hapless college students. They become zombies which can only be killed by shooting them in the head followed by burning the slugs which spew out. The gore effects are impressive, if a tad overboard. Characters are the usual college stereotypes: jocks, nerds, sorority girls. Dekker also directed The Monster Squad, another homage to classic horror.
