How is this nearly 90 minutes long?! Soooo much running around and time spent on some weird ass alien conspiracy nonsense that could have been spent on more Connie! (Or Nancy… maybe Heather…)
A mere 6 years earlier, Tina Louise was too good to appear in Return to Gilligan’s Island, but she shows up in this… 😮💨
Fun film. Awful, but fun in a “oh, how they have fallen,” kind of way.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lurid B-movie horror-sci-fi hybrid that leans into its own camp absurdity: teens caught in a conspiritorial nightmare involving small-town mechanics and extraterrestrial blood-harvesters. It's the kind of film that wobbles between genuine unease and unintentional hilarity.
