The 1980's were culture prime-time for me. Much of my teenage, high school and college years were contained within this decade. Not surprisingly, I am fond of many of the Movies and TV of this period.
I think I'd seen "TerrorVision" before, likely when it first came out in theaters or on VHS way back when. It seemed familiar but I have no idea if I disliked it then as much as I do now.
This is a B-movie. I get it. It's stupid on purpose. But I don't really like when bad movies know that they are bad. I've never liked anything by Troma studios or more recently, Asylum. "TerrorVision" wasn't produced by either one, but it's just as rotten.
The only thing that keeps me from scoring this piece of crap as low as I can is Jon Gries as heavy-metal rocker, "O.D.". He's a lot of fun and every laugh I had was supplied by him. Everything and everyone else was lame.
Cheesy and fun. Slow near the end.
gave this a watch because one of the creators of rick and Morty said he pulled inspiration from it. found it entertaining enough for a late night watch. for an eighties intentionally cheesy movie, I liked it.
Rife with exaggerated performances and entertaining special effects, only the eighties could produce this outlandish romp. Worth watching.
Delightfully 80s, though not a great movie, you can tell everyone had a blast making it. If the monster had any mobility it would have easily made this a much better flick. Swinging parents, nutty grandpas, a house built like some sleazy motel, S&M art lining the walls... it's really got it all
Earth vs. the Flying Saucers? The Claw? RobotMonster? Medusa showed a lot of classic B-movies!
Anyway I haven't seen a film like TerrorVision in a long time. It's so cheesy, so over the top, so 80's! The stereotypes, the way the house is decorated, the sex parties, the way everyone talks, aerobics, the "pleasure room" and I could go on for a bit! Also, damn grandpa, how can your grandchild get your guns so easily?
The monster looks fun! It might not have been that mobile but I liked the design and how the other alien explains how it has gotten to earth. Really dug that!
The ending is fantastic though! Did not see that coming! So if you are down for some 80's fun, TerrorVision might be for you! Don't expect a classic but lower your expectations and dive into the 80s!
Ps. will be listening to the TerrorVision song for quite a while!

Completely ridiculous, but totally fun Z-Grade horror. The effects are pretty lousy, but everyone hams it up and has a good time.
