This 2009 straight-faced spot on homage to 50s and 60s sci-fi B movies is a delight. This is not a parody and there are no laughs, whatsoever, other than a few sly references.
No gore, very mild violence, clean language, no sex ... this is a good one for pre-teens up to teens-at-heart.
Eric McCormack plays a scientist that crosses path with an alien who is hunting a runaway monster from outer space that turns people into goo. There are several other faces that you might recognize like Robert Patrick (Terminator 2), Jonathon Young (Sanctuary), Dan Lauria (The Wonder Years) and Sage Brocklebank (Psych).
The actors are obviously having a lot of fun with these roles and the dialogue and this movie would make a good, clean, fun movie for Monster Movie Night!
Two thumbs up.
