I came away from this film both having a crush on Evan Richards and never wanting to have sex again, so this film did leave something of an impact. It's special effects work is legendary for very, VERY good reason. I can't say I was impressed by much else that the film had to offer, especially not that diabolically terrible synth rendition of Strauss II's Blue Danube waltz. The generally bad acting and 80s kitsch also hurt my immersion into what could have been a great bit of Lovecraftian suburban, sun-drenched paranoia, but really it was the waltz that sunk the experience. Still fun and topical, though. After all, despite our best efforts we STILL live in a society.

Yes the acting is hit-or-miss, but this overlooked early 90s body-horror gem is equal parts David Cronenberg and David Lynch - though not nearly as polished. Still, the idea of the rich literally feeding off the poor doesn't seem as far-fetched these days, so I say, "Let the shunting begin!" (on an empty stomach).

Bill is worried that he is 'different' to his sister and parents. They mix with other 'upper class' people while Bill is more down to earth. This one of the worse sci-fi films i have ever seen total rubish, the parents are slugs like who can blend in to each other and love to eat people. I seen it many years ago on the TV and would not recomend watching this film.
