Slight horror movie from 1987, features some good special effects and good horror bits, but is hampered with hollow characters and a slack pace. '80's horror fans might wanna check this out for a single view. A woman is killed by a watermelon monster while driving a car and Rod Steiger gives us another staggering performance, this time as a mad scientist. The story starts out good, but the second half looses it's footing, and too little of the monster is seen. Originally I saw this on the USA Network about 15 years ago and just saw it for the second time the other night because I found this in a video store for sale for two bucks. Not great, but not bad. Two Stars.
